There were some packages that didn't rebuild. I don't know if all of them
have been fixed yet, but probably a few are.
  

The list was generated from the /pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/  directory on the Fedora servers
today, after today's update, so no, none of these are fixed yet, unless in the last 12 hours.

The way to find packages that are installed, but not in the repo (at
least with that version) is:
package-cleanup --orphans
  

Thats useful, but not what I was pointing out.    The src.rpm  are on the Fedora servers.

Some of those may be packages whose updates are blocked by broken dependencies
or packages with a later version than what's in the repository.

  

Thats possible.   Is that so?  Can someone confirm that all these are blocked by brokenness, and that all will
be updated to fc11 before release?

Or will fc11 be like fc10 which has many src.rpm from fc6, fc7, fc8, and fc9 ?   
Is there a policy about rpms from older distros?
