To get an idea of what is being talked about. Take a look at xine-lib, xine-lib-extras as packaged in Fedora then look at xine-lib-extras-nonfree as packaged in Livna. You may want to have a discussion with the xine-lib and xine-lib-extras-nonfree maintainer(s) concerning the history on how such a split was decided. You'll note that even xine-lib-extras-nonfree ends up using libavcodec. Quite frankly I don't think there is a way to avoid using libavcodec for somethings. The ultimate problem is ffmpeg has made no effort to make it easy to use what libavcodec provides in a modular fashion and lump all capability into a compile time choices instead of run time detection. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
