That's be great, though it's not just Fedora though, I'd rather have a git
repo on linuxwacom and just package that into Fedora/$OTHERDISTRO
(linuxwacom is being obsoleted in Fedora by xf86-input-wacom)

So a new package would in one way or another also include upstream
maintainance. And identifying which tools actually need to go into this repo
:) wacdump and possibly wacomcpl, not sure about what else.

On that note, Ping, how is wacdump different from evtest? I'm feeling lazy
today..
