There's already loss of functionality because of the repo splits we do have. wpa_supplicant does not support my atheros card because the drivers are in repo XXX. sox does not play mp3 because libmad/lame are in XXX. Both of those packages (wpa_supplicant and sox) belong in core, and madwifi and lame/libmad can not be in core. There's no way around that. Thus they have to be built with less than ideal capabilities in order to have repoclosure. But to split up XXX into several repositories based upon licensing - you are going to end up with packages depending upon packages in the other repos, so to have repoclosure - users will have to have them all configured and turned on anyway. Thus - it makes sense to have them all in one place, and have that place be in the country with the most liberal software laws we can find. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
