A bit of digging shows that the correct URL to see the *content* is http://rpm.livna.org/repo/, and you're right, it's libdvdcss. I'm glad it's available. The DRM craziness around that package is insane, and I'm glad when I can do the work in a country that does not have such onerous restrictions. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
