You might think about using a different distro for a freevo box. I know
2 years ago SuSE was my favorite, but to get mplayer to have everything
in it I had to compile about 15 dependencies in /usr/local and get them
all just right. I was actually trying to write a script to build them
all in the right order. Then I found Gentoo, it seems to be well suited
for A/V projects because of it's dependency structure and "fresh"
packages. Gentoo now has a Freevo .ebuild which works flawlessly too.
(Didn't always have one, and it didn't always work flawlessly)

A long time slack user, I have just started to look into Freevo. I
think I bit of more than I can chew, I am drowning in source and
dependencies and such. Shawn's idea of a repository is a great one.
The "whole shebang" package would be a nice bonus, but I would be
happy with a repository of packages.

I use Freevo on Slackware 10 and I think it would be most beneficial
to have all the deps seperately compiled and available as packages. I
think it would greatly aid the average slackware user much better than
having a huge package to install for minor upgrades.
On the other hand, if you wanted to pake a single monolithic package
then it would be easier to make sure everything for freevo was
compiled against the right versions of everything else. I've found it
much easier to have everything seperate but that's possibly just
because I've compiled all the deps myself and installed then with
checkinstall.
I would like to have access to a repository with both individual
packages and a "whole shebang" package so I'd have the choice. Just
some things to think about.

I was wondering the best way to pacakge Freevo. Would it be better to
build all teh deps seperately and make it available that way or to
build a single all in one binary? I can see advantages to both.
Especially with Slackware not really having a Dep. tracking system.
