-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As a new Debian user, I believe I read the following document about multimedia codes:
http://wiki.debian.org/MultimediaCodecs However, as noted on the following two pages, Debian does not appear to approve of www.debian-multimedia.org: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/FAQ#Common_issues http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=70719&f=13 So why would the first page about codecs instruct users to add the www.debian-multimedia.org repository? Shouldn't this be avoided? Shouldn't Debian communicate the contrary on all pages? I just finished downgrading all of the packages that I had linked to debian-multimedia.org, and it was a painful and slow process. Not something I would wish on anyone. It started because I was innocently trying to install VLC and some other video software, and I ran into package conflicts with GNOME and several other packages. So could we update the first link and remove the reference debian-multimedia.org? That would save newbie users like me from the pain of having to figure out why an innocent package in Stable conflicts with the entire GUI of the OS. Thank you for considering my input. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9kHX0ACgkQIZkx3dzEh22z5gCggbYg9XKnzGfmz1BydAbd/7pb aWUAoIDpXrvkvvm8a97odkUcjseHTXWg =MMvb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
