That's pretty easy to add in the BS, IIRC, it's about creating the dirs in the repo, modifying media.cfg, and youri + iurt config files. And maybe one-line to patch in Rpmdrake::Gui to recognize that nonfree-tainted is not free software (but it looks already broken anyway). > I'd have to go with Guillaume on that one. > The inclusion of faac came up a long time ago, and the simple logical > answer is to created a tainted-non-free repos. > > However, the three problems with that solution are: > - there is only a handful of people at Mageia who can do that, and > none of them actually did it. Maybe because Mageia sysadmins are not always dictators and act upon the input of other teams. Pascal and I will be able to do it. > - there is only faac, so why bother?

Yep, it's only worth the clarity it offers in media descriptions... -- Olivier Blin - blino
