Maybe we should add a that a student should be able to play videos and
listen to music. It should be easy to install required codes
(free/nonfree/patente) if they are available in the repositories (yes, I
mean rpmfusion)
This would require approval beyond the WG, as it goes against Fedora's
policies. Note, I am not saying you are incorrect, just that it's a
conversation to be had elsewhere first.
Ensuring that it's possible/easy to install plugins from third party
repositories when appropriate if those third party repositories are
defined is not, I don't believe, against any policies, or we could not
have the automatic codec installation mechanisms in Totem and Rhythmbox.
(Which, as I read it, is the kind of thing this comment was about).
The codec search only works if you have repositories configured that
have packages that match the Provides (as far as I understand).
Fedora policy says that we do not promote or install such
repositories. This is the "don't talk about RPMFusion" rule.
So sure, we can have software that will pull things in if the user has
done some manual intervention. We just cant, currently, do that thing
for them.
Right, that's exactly what I was saying. I just think this is all the
_original poster_ was talking about, not any kind of automatic
configuration of such repositories. (Or at least, you can read it that
way).
OK. I guess that's fine, but it seems like a non-goal to me. I mean,
it already works that way. All adding it to the PRD would do would
make an easy thing to check off the list as "met".
I suppose we should go back to the OP and ask for clarification of
exactly what the idea was, at this point :)
All I was asking for is the status quo. 3rd party repositories must be
installed manually, but once they are installed automated codec
installation should work.
