We can't show the PackageKit window saying - now enable the repo we shouldn't talk about :D and say install gstreamer-plugins-ugly. In that case we can just ship it in our own repos :) On the other hand - we can show you the way, we do not agree with (as it's proprietary non free implementation), you have to pay - but that's the penalty for not using Google :) R. > Kevin Kofler > > -- > devel mailing list > devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
