Gentoo is a bit more involved than that. For any given package, there can be an ebuild, which is a script that handles dependencies before config fails and that handles any oddities not handled by the config;make;install process. At any given time there can be on your system ebuild scripts for any number of versions of a package. Some are denoted as stable and others not stable (or not proven to be so yet). So, having an ebuild for xine-dvdnav as a separate thing from xine could very well be possible. All this allows you to install older versions of packages as well as stable or cutting edge. It is up to you. It is one of the nice things about Gentoo. You can be as cutting edge or rock solid as you want. In my case, I have installed xine-ui-0-9-13, which is the one considered by the Gentoo xine maintainer to be the current stable one. There are newer versions available as well, but I have been starting with stable versions when trying a new package. I see that libdvdcss is also installed and xine seems to find it. I would imagine that encrypted DVDs are not handled by default in this software but, instead, requires the user to select that such support be enabled. I know that I would do it that way. I suspect that the xine install on Gentoo has encrypted support off by default. My question was, in Gentoo, where would I enable it? I did not see anything obvious in the ebuilds for these items. > > -- > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com > _______________________________________________ > Linux-users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> > http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users > -- +����������������������������+�������������������������������+ � Roger Oberholtzer � E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] � � OPQ Systems AB � WWW: http://www.opq.se/ � � Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 � Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 � � 115 34 Stockholm � Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 � � Sweden � Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 � +����������������������������+�������������������������������+ _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
