If you're wondering about Extras (Fedora.us), here's the bugzilla report for tracking it: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1679 (The old packages for FC1 don't build on FC2 apparently, updates are needed, besides probably gtkmm 2.4 is probably the highest priority?) > Many applications rely on these, for example Gabber and cdrdao. cdrdao > is already part of FC2, but its GUI front-end (gcdmaster) is not built. > Is there an official packager for gtkmm ?

Well, you can help out with packaging and/or testing the packages; the bug I referenced should give you some information on whom to get in touch with (it looks like Michael Koziarski is working on the packages).
