Ping.
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 ?
Thx
