I still fail to see what the problem is. I understand that you don't like the approach, but maybe you can elaborate on the 'insencere' or 'not straight' part.
Yes, I'll try. AFAIUI there are packages out there that use libav libraries but for which licenses apply that are incompatible with GPL-v3. In order to not violate these licenses when building or run-time linking against libav libraries, we have disabled the offending codecs that cause the license change.
On the other hand we have a libav-extra package with libraries for which GPL-v3 applies and which thus violate the license terms of said software if it is linked against it. So the whole purpose of the libav-extra package seems to be to tolerate license clashes at runtime while playing fair at build time with the regular libav package.
I hope I made myself clearer, hm. - Fabian _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
