As if the discussion on the CentOS mailinglist about failing harddisks 
was a signal, my main disk on my buildsystem died on me last night. Dries 
tried recovering it this morning but to no avail.

This means the backup plan is that Dries will be the primary source for 
all FC4 RPMforge packages (both x86_64 and i386). It makes sense to start 
merging Dries and my repository now and think about the future.

I will have to reinstall all my build environments and will take the 
opportunity to revise and document the process. If there are people that 
depend on eg. RH6, EL2, RH7, RH8, RH9, FC1, FC2 or another distribution, 
step forward now if you like to be closer involved or like to maintain an 
older distribution. If nobody steps up I will probably drop RH9 and FC1 
support.

New packages or updates in my repository are suspended until I have 
reinstalled my build environments and revised the tools. Don't expect this 
to be before July. I'll try though. Dries and FreshRPMS will still cover 
the important packages and are completely compatible.

Sorry for any inconveniences.
