This is not a codec but a software package that cracks an encryption algorithm. It has been packaged for debian proper, uploaded and got rejected by ftp-master. BTW, the reason did not involve patents, AFAIUI. As an alternative source, the libdvdread3 package used to ship a /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh script, which fetched a libdvdcss2 packages from debian-unofficial.org. From a packaging and maintenance POV, that package is in a much better state. Too bad that the libdvdread maintainer removed that really handy script. > > This may have been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but a wiki page > under wiki.debian.org instructs users to use d-m.o as a repository to > get various codecs. > > http://wiki.debian.org/MultimediaCodecs That package desperately needs updating. -- regards, Reinhard _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
