+Hello
+Thanks to you...
+
+
+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/
+
+nevertheless I could surf through your repos :
+Some of the rpms you propose reply to rpm requests already done or that
+I was going to write (reading my thoughts ?)
+
+:)
+
+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 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 !
