Since the people in the thread "proposal: downgrade libtheora to experimental package" at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/olOxh1f6-cc were quite in favour of going even further then just downgrading it here a concrete proposal:
remove the optional libogg and libtheora packages completely from sage. for motivation one can see the other thread. Short summary, they don't seem to add anything a lot of value to sage the library and shipping video and audio codecs is not really a goal of sage the distribution, so we should not include them even as optional package. Furthermore installing libtheora is currently broken. The main reason why I start this new thread is that I think it should be clear from just the subject title what the proposed change is, so that the sage developers not reading all the details of a long discussion don't feel surprised if these packages are suddenly gone. If people have any objections to this please let me know. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
