Sure, no problem. I just did a release to planetcore-testing repo (with
a warning to the planetccrma list), you can find it here:

http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetcore/testing/10/i386/repoview/index.html
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetcore/testing/10/x86_64/repoview/index.html

(the one I have tested and hangs is the i386 PAE version)
Source here:

http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetcore/testing/10/SRPMS/

(if you don't want to figure out the .src.rpm - I would not blame you -
I can give you a list of the patches that were actually applied - of the
ones that are included in the package)
