I've finished grip after fixing patches and adding some more from source forge it finally builds. I have to do the changes file before it goes to multimedia:apps but it's available now at : http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/plater/openSUSE_11.4 or /openSUSE_11.3 or /openSUSE_11.2 or /openSUSE_Factory
Cool! Thanks.
BTW, how do your personal repo and the openSUSE multimedia:apps repo relate to the Packman repo WRT multimedia apps? Is it safe to mix-n-match from at least the latter two? What is the intent of multimedia:apps as related to the Packman multimedia repo(s)?
I'm also considering using the tumbleweed repo for updates since I don't like to perform full system upgrades as often as is usually necessary. Do you forsee any conflicts between the multimedia repos and the tumbleweed repo WRT multimedia apps?

I use a path to multimedia:libs in my home:plater repo as it's primarily for multimedia work, Packman has a path to the openSUSE Update repo. So my package builds against the same as multimedia:apps does. Packman is for anything that openSUSE can't provide due to patents and licenses. I'm pushing to have the original cdrtools (also in home:plater) in Packman but I have to allow it to exist with wodim. Wodim has a package called "cdrkit-cdrtools-compat" which provides links that are named the same as cdrtools's cdda2wav, cdrecord and mkisofs. I'm also preparing an ffmpeg enabled blender for Packman but I'm still fixing a few problems that have come to light since collaborating with a Fedora packager, we're working on an "undefined-non-weak-symbol" in one of the openCOLLADA libs. We (multimedia) are pushing multimedia updates that are in factory to tumbleweed. Tumbleweed takes packages from factory and builds them in a release environment so they should be the same as updates. I see that Packman has a tumbleweed repo as well now. I've always had the latest packages in my system, it's the only way to test, either from my home or from multimedia. I don't think I have a single stock 11.4 package on my system that I maintain and all this is mixed with Packman as well. If I pick up a problem I track it down to the offending package and fix it, this way bugs get fixed before they're noticed. Unfortunately I can't do everything at once although I try sometimes. I haven't tested grip yet, I've never used it and I'm hoping you will. Some of the patches I added add new features they will all be noted in the changes file.
