Well, there's a bunch of packages in the web site already... see:

Most of it seems to be working fine. Lightly tested on i386, fun for
adventure minded users (ie: non-tested) on x86_64. 

Some packages like planetccrma-menus and planetccrma-apps are not there
yet so you will have to install the programs one by one, and no fancy
menus yet (soon coming to a Planet near you, hopefully tomorrow). 

Some things don't seem to work and are not there, that I remember
looking at my notes:

- amsynth: a buffer overflow is detected and the program crashes at
  startup

- bristol: the newest version does not seem to start correctly

- swami: crashes on exit

- gem in pd and the stk ugens supercollider plugin need to have text
  relocation enabled in selinux (that's a bug). 

If you don't see a package it is probably not working...
Enjoy!!
