+
+Earlier i sent an email regarding these unmaintained packages, with a 
+suggestions if the maintainers of these other similar tools could take these, 
+if they don't, i may take them.
+
+cdrkit -> dvd+rw-tools
+iproute2 -> iptables
+spec-helper -> rpm
+
+also about apache, i've done a few security patches for the stable version, so 
+i might be able to help out with this, but i can't completely take on apache 
+for myself, especially since i don't really use cauldron.
