Well, if you go to the repoview pages you'll see some stuff (the builder
is working, yay!)...

The planetccrma-repo package is there, as well as an rt kernel, rtirq
and a planetccrma-core(-PAE) metapackage. Install as usual, but only for
good sports. 

_No_ testing done whatsoever, except to verify that the packages install
in a mach chroot environment. The kernel-rt is the same (rebuilt) as the
one in fc10 testing - I have been using it for a while with no side
effects or hangs but maybe I'm just lucky. Feedback appreciated. 

Test carefully. 
No need yet to migrate to 11 yet :-)

The summary from Orcan about Fedora itself is __great__! Thanks!!
