[Nguyen Trung Hieu]

Dear all

I surprise vblade rpm was removed from epel 5

Packages in EPEL require a Fedora developer who is going to caretake for
them. The person who originally packaged vblade stopped maintaining it and
orphaned the package. If an orphaned package does not get a developer in 6
weeks it is removed from the repositories because it means that the package
is not being maintained and there is no one who can answer questions on
what might be wrong with the package if a customer has them.
