I maintaine some packages which are not updated for years, but used by other packages, like transcode. What's the alternate to DVD's on linux? Blue-Ray Disks with HDCP, AACS and BD+ or Video On Demand over Internet with DRM and no Linux clients? DVDs are well supported and CSS is no real problem, so it simply works with linux. As long as I can manage transcode to build with new gcc versions and new library versions from e.g. ffmpeg and no security problems are known, why should we drop it? > But more important.

In the past we lost a lot of maintainer entries in the packages, I don't know when and why this happend. I'm also a littel bit confused, because osc commands have changed a while ago. I'm not sure, how to set maintainer entry for my packages once again. -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ Manfred | http://packman.links2linux.de/ _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
