IIRC we've done something > like that with xine-lib-extras and gst-plugins-bad in the past... ffmpeg, unfortunately, isn't set up to be modularised like this; you can't build an ffmpeg-free with the free codecs and an ffmpeg-patented with the patented ones and have them co-exist nicely. So an ffmpeg build with almost all the codecs ripped out in the Fedora repos would 'compete' with the full build in That Other Repo, not complement it, and the way the two repos are set up, it would be tricky to have a handicapped build in the Fedora repo and a full build in That Other One and have it easy for people to pick the one from That Other Repo (since Other Repo packages use the same disttag as Fedora ones). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
