Re: mplayer should be moved to universe

2008-05-30 Thread John Dong
Mplayer decodes H.264 and other MPEG-4 type content, and also contains the same core codebase as mencoder which encodes to said format. From what I understand, that means we cannot put mplayer in multiverse. If this is incorrect, then I would like x264, xvidcore, and friends out into universe too

2008-05-30 Thread John Dong
That is my strongly held opinion on this matter... mencoder's our last uncastrated encoder suite in the Ubuntu repositories (we lost ffmpeg in the quest to bring it to main, though AFAIK it still has the mpeg4 encoder for some reason, but that's a discussion for another day), and I believe it's in

Huh? swt-gtk 3.4 in Universe?

2008-08-18 Thread John Dong
I just noticed swt-gtk 3.4 is in Intrepid Universe. The last time I tried to take this package from Debian, I was told by our in-house Java experts NOT to do this because they disagreed with the way Debian packages their Eclipse-related (SWT and friends) libraries separate from Eclipse itself.
