FYI, the codec-pack is no longer available. There were some well founded concerns about its legality, and I did not want to get myself into trouble. The bright side is that I committed all the patches I wrote for building it to the spec-files-extra repository. From now on, people can use pkgbuild to build the same package set from the spec files. (While we come up with a better - and legal - solution). -- Greetings, alo. _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
