Hi!

Since we're finally dealing with the media things, I'd like to reiterate
on the FLAC issue. 

It is especially important, because the audacious build on RPMForge is
screwed (and in view of the impossibility to fix it, it should be
probably removed altogether), so xmms is all that is left.

Currently if one does

yum install xmms xmms-flac

he gets this:

[...@pride ~]$ sudo yum install xmms xmms-flac

no package provides libFLAC.so.8
[...@pride ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides libFLAC.so.7
flac-1.1.2-28.el5_0.1

I imagine that someone tried to bump FLAC to the latest version (1.2.1),
but it didn't work. I've successfully updated the SPEC, but it's more of
a problem, because there's another bunch of things that depend on a
specific version of flac, so RPMForge should rather provide 1.1.2
rebuilt with the xmms support:

I checked out FLAC log; first off, it carries a test flag (why?) and
secondly it doesn't build at all, because of the following:

http://packages.sw.be/flac/_buildlogs/flac-1.1.2-1.el5.test.i386.ko.log.gz

---
error: Failed build dependencies:
        xmms-devel is needed by flac-1.1.2-1.el5.test.i386
---

It seems to me that this is a build system issue which should be pretty
easy to fix, since actually RPMForge does provide xmms-devel and FLAC
builds just fine against it. 

Dag, could you *please* be so kind to look into this?

The interest for a working media player on EL5 is certainly there as one
may judge from the recent posts.

Thanks!
