+
+So it seems that my list of 20 rpms is now much lower than needed, as
+most servers applications needed have been imported.
+
+The only thing left are :
+
+* apache ( and apache-mod_fastcgi, apache-mod_perl, apache-mod_php,
+apache-mod_ssl, apache-mod_wsgi 
+* bugzilla 
+* icecream 
+* rails 
+* sympa 
+* mercurial
+
+Mercurial should be simple, bugzilla will likely be done by dmorgan as
+soon as the list will be posted.
+
+Rails is likely to be handled by shikamaru ( as he is working on
+redmine ), so you should see with him to help
+
+Sympa is not hard to package either.
+
+And that let us with apache + various modules. 
+
+So any taker ?
