+To be honest, most E17 users i personally know use
+something like http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/#easy_e17.sh
+and compile and keep it up-to-date for themselves.
+
+As all e packages provide SPEC templates for rpm builds,
+maybe we could whip up some script which eases compilation
+and installation of E17 packages, similar to nvidia-mgabuild.sh
+for Nvidia drivers from Anssi.
+Would be unsupported, but would provide a way for E17
+users to have their preferred desktop and keep it
+up-to-date as they wish?
