Sorry for the lack of answer, was editing the wiki. Thx for rising the point of packages outside fedora. At least I can enumerate the packages that are into a well known repository (that are already dealt with), but I don't know if there are other projects using it that are not packaged, or outside a well known repository. Do you want me to add a list of packages that will support the new libva ?
