This sounds great, although a working rpmfusion would be even better; lack of nvidia modules (in my case for 304.88) means that I'm not keeping up with kernel updates on my f18/x86_64 main box. I haven't yet made time to prepare for building for that from your SRPM.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Agreed, but I have no visibility into the infrastructure side of RPM Fusion and it's been strangely quiet. I'm already building F19 and F18 x86_64 packages since that's what I use at home.</div>

My earlier query about using your SRPM or a git pull was really intended to clarify the update process, since, IIRC, you use a tarball and a git diff as well as repo-specific tweaks; I wondered how easy it would be to replace the tarball-and-diff with a straight git pull; I guess that would be the preferred route in the absence of an existing route-that-works.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Either way would work but from a guidelines point of view the the preference is for using an "official" release and patching it. Of course mythtv is the only package I maintain that uses a fixes branch so it's kinda in the gray area anyhow, but it does keep me from having to keep re-uploading the whole source to infra every time I push an update. Since just the patch changes that's a good enough reason for me to keep it that way :)</div>
