<div class="im">The issue is, it takes time to get packages reviewed since there are</div>

But I can't force anyone to become a packager. It takes time to learn<br>
and get into it, especially if the person does not have some<br>
programming background. I am just announcing here, if there is anyone<br>
who can spare a couple hours every week and is willing to do packaging<br>
work, we would be very pleased.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have programming background and would be interested in learning how packaging is done. I have my own build of <a href="http://vamp-plugins.org/">http://vamp-plugins.org</a> , for example, since I'm using them for my own website project/idea: <a href="http://nielsmayer.com/trainspodder-prototype.jpg">http://nielsmayer.com/trainspodder-prototype.jpg</a> <a href="http://nielsmayer.com/prototype-11-17-2009.jpg">http://nielsmayer.com/prototype-11-17-2009.jpg</a> (which needs to be the focus of my time so I can't get too distracted w/ too much time-commitment ).</div>

</div>When the updates get signed and put into updates-testing repo (takes a<br>
couple days after my announcements), you can temporarily enable the<br>
updates-testing repo for once to install specific packages, like<br>
$ yum --enablerepo updates-testing update muse<br>
$ yum --enablerepo updates-testing install ladspa-wasp-plugins<br>
etc. When this command finishes its work, your updates-testing repo<br>
will be disabled.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks for suggesting the correct way to do it.</div><div><br></div><div>-- Niels.</div></div>
