Some applications may be missing, but you can file a packaging request on http://bugs.mageia.org/ (and let me know about it, so I can try to dedicate some time to it) and given enough rpm-fu, you can package these applications yourself. > 3 - the hope (probably mis-guided) that the forks will re-unite Well, Mandriva's move to rpm5 poses a problem for that.
