you must be confused. the patent problems are only affecting the opendivx codec. I spoke with the maintainer about this problem, the opendivx codec is just not going into the mplayer package. the program itself is GPL regarding the technical issues, the main problem was that mplayer uses higher CPU optimizations on compilation. This can be solved by including a part of the sources in the binary package and building them in postinst or even by building many mplayer-* packages. this is a hard package, Dariush Pietrzak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has done a great job making it work. please don't trash it and reassign that entry to ITP. thanks, -- -------------------------------------------------- Robert Millan Debian GNU/Hurd user zeratul2 wanadoo es http://getyouriso.dyndns.org/ -------------------------------------------------- GPG ID C8D6942C 237F 8688 C2E5 BC64 E152 97B4 FB28 D41B C8D6 942C -------------------------------------------------- Some words for my friends Carnivore and Echelon -------------------------------------------------- FBI CIA NSA Assault Bomb Terrorism Jihad Allah Ossama Bin Laden Saddam Hussein Handgun Assault Plane Crash Pentagon World Trade Center Whitehouse President Bush Putin Twin Towers Air Force One USA America DeCCS RIAA BSA piracy illegal drugs heroin Big Brother is watching you defcon nuclear holocaust world war arabian afghanistan cryptography PGP GPG crack RSA algorithm Chechnya OMON Spetsnaz T-72 Merkava M1A1 Abrams Chieftain Challenger Turret Apache Missiles Skinheads troopers Kazakhstan Muhhamed Atta ----------------------------------------------------------- Put this in your signature and join us in confusing the Big Brother
