It has been a while since Redhat announced the merger with Fedora.us and the formation of a community oriented and supported Fedora project. The process of opening up CVS access to the community is one of the major steps towards that and that has finally happened, according to Red Hat. The build infrastructure internally used by Redhat should open up soon and formation of fedora extras and policies would complete the process.

This is timely. I just installed Fedora Core 3 the other day and was setting up my non-red hat repositories last night. Naturally, I went to fedora.us first, but the project looked dead. No recent news or mailing list archives. So I pointed apt to freshrpms.net. The freshrpms, dag.wiers.com, and atrpms.net community seems much more active than fedora.us.
“The freshrpms, dag.wiers.com, and atrpms.net community seems much more active than fedora.us.

yes. the fedora extras conversion process from fedora.us has been taking the time
Taking time is an understatement. That said, there’s been plenty of whining about it, and little congratulations now that it’s finally happening.
Congrats!
all better now
