It's a lot of infrastructure work beyond putting some free machines on the
Internet. Even with availability of software that's used by Fedora, like
the account system, the update system, the build system(s), there's much
to do if you either want to set up a highly similar developer environment
or a custom one.
The status of that effort can be easily found here, as well as the mailing lists
for it: http://rpmfusion.org/
As Michael pointed out... that repo merger is NOT a simple thing to get done.
And not having an unified extra repo might cause many desktop users to
migrate elsewhere, especially for multimedia and graphic drivers.
And generally multimedia management has to be improved, I bet if a
newcomer might be happy in setting up his system and how long does it
take to have a system properly working (for multimedia)?
Instead of trying to threaten the livna packagers, it would be better to
give them increased support. Too often one can read how people discuss
various problems with livna packages without submitting a bug report. For
several packagers, their motivation comes solely from users who use their
packages and give success/failure reports.
Indeed... http://bugzilla.livna.org/ is where the nvidia package problem
belongs. The init scripts for the driver are not yet fixed for upstart (not
that it matters yet with the driver until the glx support gets released).
