Yes. It is already in extras-devel, which anyone who is developing software for the IT should add to their standard list of repositories. The extras-devel is a staging area which is particularly useful to test for any interaction problems (e.g. if someone else ships an updated version of a library an application depends on).

I intend to migrate GPE into extras, although I was hoping that we would have had some agreement on the process and criteria for migrating software from extras-devel to extras by now. I will have to just do it anyway, I guess.

Now that it seems that the main chinook-related bugs are fixed I will also add the GPE applications into the OS2008 downloads pages. These will point to my .install files, which I will maintain and will redirect to the extras repos once GPE is there.
