Please don't solely take on the responsibility to create packages for 
pjproject. Approach upstream Debian and Fedora and provide intensives 
for help.

Right now, we don't even do a good job even providing the latest 
versions of asterisk packages any more. And we already have a list of 
people complaining about the lack up updates.  I don't believe this is 
intentional, but a lack of resources.

Additionally, because of the way the Digium build infrastructure is 
setup allow non-digium people access to it is not a trivial process.

Or, please have the local resource apply and become a package maintainer 
for Fedora or Debian and use their existing infrastructure.  If Digium 
wishes to maintain a local repo, back-porting from upstream is straight 
forward.
