Well, Totem in Fedora does it via plugins - you don't have to rebuild it, you just need to install additional gstreamer-plugins. Some packages - like sox - will support mp3 with a simple rebuild presuming the necessary devel packages are installed. Passing flags to a spec file is pure rpm - via the --define switch. I don't think they should go out of their way to do it in cases where you can add the functionality with an add-on package that doesn't conflict with core package. When they can't, as in freetype and the bytecode interpreter, I don't think they need to but I don't think it is a problem if they do. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
