+Yes, I now your repo since I read your first post on september 30th
+
+we talked, then,
+
+- about the fact that it was better to propose a build of your rpms in
+the Mageia BuildSystem for official  repos if they are missing...
+I saw you began to import them ... thank you for that !
+
+- and about the fact that some of your packages must not be built inside
+Mageia because of a strict policy about what can be in tainted, what can
+be in non-free and what must stay outside...
+
+
+What I'm talking now is only about this ugly package (FAAC) - spell it
+correctly :)  - both non-totally-GPL (so non-free) and tainted : it
+can't be in non-free repo because tainted, and not in tainted because
+non-free !
+
+and so talking about :
+
+A) "uglily" built binaries using faac that you propose and which already
+exist, "honestly" built, (without faac) in Mageia1 or Cauldron :
+
+1) audiokonverter as provided by your repo needs faac (it is not the
+same thing in Mageia's repo)
+2) transcode as provided by your repo seems to need faac too (it is not
+the same thing in Mageia's repos)
+
+
+B) packages that you might provide with a special building using faac :
+
+1) mplayer (so that mencoder may work on aac, m4a and mp4 files)
+2) vlc (to be able to work on aac, m4a and mp4 files)
+3) avidemux (to be able to work on aac, m4a and mp4 files)
+3) libquicktime (to provide a libquicktime-faac rpm)
+4) mythtv ( to be able to work on aac, m4a and mp4 files)
+5) gstreamer-plugin-bad (for the same reason)
+
+
+C) your packages that may not be imported in Mageia exactly the same way
+you built them, and will need to coexist with Mageia's ones when they exist:
+
+1) cinelerra (built with BuildRequire faac)
+2) handbrake (its source provides a "bundled" faac source and itis built
+with this BuilRequire in your repo)
+
+
+and finally to find a way to have a coherency for version number and
+suffixes to allow "updates" from Mageia's  to yours
+... if you are OK to become a kind of PLF repo for Mageia for this
+insoluble problem
+
+I hope it is clearer (but longer !)
