What software is missing in the Fedora repository?

[RahulSundaram]

Hi

Handbrake cant be in Fedora because it relies on patent encumbered codecs.

[hadrons123]

how about having infinality like font smoothing and fontconfig default settings in fedora?
chromium browser daily build could be added to official repos... it doesnt include flash so no proprietary troubles, i guess.

[RahulSundaram]

Hi

Again. Patent encumbered font technology of proprietary stuff wont be added. Daily builds are available for Chromium upstream and usable in Fedora. wont be in Fedora by default

gwaei - Japanese-English Dictionary for GNOME is now missing from F16 repository. It was in back to F15 and F14.

FUSE filesystem for Media Transfer Protocol. Recently much more valuable since Android doesn't support USB block device access on the Galaxy Nexus any more and that may be the trend for other phones.

In case it helps, I'm willing to maintain this package.

keypassx is in the repos for F15, but not F16.

KeePassX is in the f16 repos. I have it installed, also this page says it is as well:

https://community.dev.fedoraproject....kages/keepassx

[DBelton]

it is in the F16 repo, but hasn't been rebuilt for F16. It still has the F15 naming, so that might be where the confusion is.

The F15 package should work fine on F16, though.

using the F16 repos:

Also in the F17 repo too

Interesting. Neither yum nor I can find it in the 32bit repos. I wonder if it got overlooked or if I'm doing something wrong.

CalculiX would be a great addition to the repositories. It's an open-sourced finite-element engineering tool which is quite capable. Calculix is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

Reference manager jabref would be nice, if included. Now the developer is providing a jar file for use in Fedora. The project page is here
