Emerald package has retired

It’s so long time to issue yum-update on my F15 boxes.
found the emerald packages already removed from repo…

[Workaround to continue running Emerald:]
just go back to 0.9.4~
1.  Download essential packages:
[x86_64]

[i386]

2. Remove current 0.9.5.0 compiz related packages.

3. install the RPMs downloaded above.

4. edit the /etc/yum.conf to block compiz/emerald related updates.

Well now I’ve blocked updates on compiz and libreoffice… is there any more?
