A good test of the F9pre-release would be to have livna and friends ready

I am not threatening anybody, as Michael is saying: what I am saying
that the effort to unify external repo is not clear, even if you look
to the link that you suggest in rpmfusion I don't see much activity, I
understand that they should be ready for F9 launch.
At the moment the only working repo for F9 is livna, isn't it?

Sorry if I created any misunderstanding ....
