Well my thought was perhaps set up a script that uses FTP since that's one of the things that sourceforge offers with their account. We could set up a guest account with read only privileges in a script that downloads the .wav files and stores them in the appropriate locations for samples loops and audio impulse files.
I don't know if a script and the FTP would be easier than enabling an repo for newbs to Linux. I was under the impression that the rpmfusion repos were disabled by default and there weren't any links to them in the spin. I also don't know if Fedora would allow us to package a script that download content from off site either, though as I think about it, that's what KDE and GNOME do for background pictures and sound motifs for their DEs. Maybe it'll fly.... On Apr 11, 2012 6:07 PM, "Christopher R.
