I don't know anything about rpmfusion packaging and infrastructure, so
I'd be happy if someone picks up xine-ui there. In fact, xine-ui gets
most xine related abrt reports, it seems, and I always found it
difficult to decide whether those are really xine-ui or xine-lib issues.
So, xine-ui would best be put into the xine-lib maintainer's hands
anyways ;)

Well, to be honest, I'd be glad if xine-lib also got a new maintainer.
(Xavier? :-) ) As I wrote, I only really maintain xine-lib because of Kaffeine,
and I'll stop caring about xine-lib the day Kaffeine releases its MPlayer-based
code (or something else not based on xine-lib). In particular, I also really
don't want to maintain xine-ui…

I can help with xine-lib and xine-ui in RPM Fusion, but I'm not sure I'll be a good primary maintainer for them. I'm more of a package monkey than a developper. Anyway, for some reason, I still value xine-lib and I'd hate to see it go away, so I'll take it if nobody else step up to the plate. I also use xine-ui, and I could take care of it too, but I have the feeling it doesn't receive much upstream love...

Note that xine-lib-extras-freeworld can be merged back into xine-lib when it
moves to RPM Fusion, and the new xine-lib can Obsolete/Provide it. That'll
allow making the packaging a bit less of a wicked mess than it is now.

I'm sure having only one package for all the xine-lib bits will ease the life of the both the package and the repos maintainers.

Xavier
