If it's not in Fedora, you can package it if you need it. You
certainly
don't need to ask the Desktop team anything (and a bunch of us have
proven packager so we can help with updates, if GNOME does end up
using
those dependencies).
Yeah, I know, of course. Just heard that time that some Red Hatters/
Fedora guys ere going to work on it too. Now I'm checking the stuff
again, refreshing package reviews etc.
The truth is I gave it up due to completely non-distribution friendly
approach in Unity upstream (aka no upstream tarballs, just Ubuntu
packages...).
Btw. thanks for help offer,
