Imho we should just remove the codecs package. These days you can play all files nicely with mplayer/ffmpeg. Afaik this pacakges includes some dlls from Windows, QuickTime, RealPlayer etc.. Its very likely that distribution is just not allowed. So in the end we have a pacakge with an unclear license and which is not really used by anything. It should be save to move it to AUR. PS: Its also available for i686 only; the x86_64 one is nearly empty. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber [email protected] WWW http://www.archlinux.de
