First of all, thank you to everyone for all your comments and interest!

+
+>Great, I really like it when user communities get involved directly in the
+>project rather than doing everything outside ! :)
+
+We are very glad in blogdrake to help a distribution with such good
+intentions as Mageia, so we wish all its success.
+

+>José Jorge:
+
+>Good. And at first, I suggest you remove everything that is already in
+Mageia
+>repos as updates : smc, cegui, etc.
+>Keeping them will just add mess.
+
+All the programmes of my repository has been checked:
+- The packages are not in Cauldron.
+- They are updated to the latest version.
+- They have been checked the licences and written in file spec.
+- Installed and run (in Mageia 1).
+- Checked with rpmlint and cleaned file specs to verify the conditions of
+rpmlint.
+(Everything in Mageia 1, not in Cauldron yet)
+
+The result of this work is the following list:
+http://ftp.blogdrake.net/incoming/MGA/joaquin/mageia.txt
+
+Also with the directory of srpms:
+http://ftp.blogdrake.net/incoming/MGA/joaquin
+
+I've uploaded to BS already the first 2 programmes (flaw y fimount) with the
+help of
+my mentor Juan Luis Baptiste (aka Juancho) and we want to continue with this
+work.
+
+All your collaboration to get the final step, would be Welcome:
+- Try to pack all these packages in Cauldron
+- Upload to BS
+There are many packages and it is too much work for one person.

+
+>Just one thing to correct : your repos addresses are :
+>ftp://ftp.blogdrake.net/mageia/mageia1/free/i586/
+>ftp://ftp.blogdrake.net/mageia/mageia1/free/x86_64/
+
+Thanks! The right URL is the one you show.
+
+>First thing I must say : it's a very good idea to upload these packages
+>to the BS and join the packagers team instead of providing third party
+>repos that will soon create compatibility problems (as in the past for
+>Mandrake and Mandriva with Thac's or MIB or others)
+
+The main target of this repository is to have the major quantity of these
+Programmes in Mageia 2 and, in the meanwhile, to have a repository in which
+the users of Mageia can enjoy of a lot of programmes, wanting to use the
+distribution more and more.
+
+Frankly, I don't agree the policy of MIB. Even, MIB declared openly that it
+doesn't like Mageia (see the official website)
+
+I tried to avoid packing libraries (compatiblity problems), so I have just
+packed only the neccesary libraries  to do some programmes work
+
+>The second thing is : before uploading them you will have to be careful
+>with the repos policy (core tainted non-free)
+>In your own repo, there is a problematic package : faac (and libfaac0
+>libfaac-devel) which is both non-free and tainted ...
+>After long dicussions on the mailing list a meeting decision was not to
+>provide it at the moment (nor the packages built with it...)
+>If a non-free-&-tainted repo is created for Mageia2, in the future, it
+>will be then allowed ... wait and see !
+
+Then I'm not going to upload any programme which use faac to BS, until a
+non-free-&-tainted repo is created for Mageia2 (audiokonverter y cinelerra
+will wait) ;-)
+
+I have a list of all the packages in which I show the license of each
+packages to avoid making mistakes with licenses:

+Also with the directory of srpms:

+
+>José Jorge:
+
+>hi, I am packaging games in mageia, so maybe I can help bring faster
+blogdrake
+>repos. Is there a way to say which packages I start working on?
+
+My friend GregoryBravas (admin from http://blogdrake.net) created a post
+with all
+the games in blogdrake repository. I think you should visit it before
+packing yourself,
+to avoid any extra-work!

+
+Also see the previous list:
+http://ftp.blogdrake.net/incoming/MGA/joaquin/mageia.txt
+
+In my blog you also can see the emulators (games) packed for Mageia:

+(The blue list on the right at the end)
+
+I take the advantage to thank Bravas for all his help packing all these
+games
+and much more programmes!! ;-)
+
+Best Regards,
+Joaquin
