Are there enough people around such that we can make a start at
something that is not separate as d-apt is from Debian, but is an
integral stepping stone to the Fedora repository. It may be that doing
a Fedora equivalent of d-apt is a first step. Given the relatively low
traffic initially, I can host a repository at some URL such as
fedora.dlang.org or some such, we can experiment with
fedora.winder.org.uk maybe.

The issue is setting up a Git build framework that does all the RPM
builds automatically. This is the successful basis for Debian, Fedora
and I suspect d-apt.
