please check mplayer 0.90-3



hi everybody

mplayer 0.90-3 is in  

deb http://tonelli.sns.it/pub/mplayer ./

and was uploaded to the incoming dir of Debian.

So please review the package and tell me (and the ftp-installer(s))
if this may be fit for Debian

and thanks for the time




----------changes in 0.90-3:

the description clearly states that the .tar.gz is different from the upstream

is now properly linked with directfb8

----------changes in 0.90-2:

--CSS--

it does not contain CSS code

now it uses libdvdread for reading DVDs, that will in turn dl-open
 libdvdcss (for people brave enought to install it
by using the convenient script in libdvdread itself ;-) )

--FFMpeg--

subdir 'libavcodec' is from FFMpeg

I have read 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199266 
and someone says that source code may be distributed,
while binaries that implement _encoding_ may be a problem

the binary package of mplayer 0.90-2 does not contain the 
'mencoder' (since 'lame'  is not in Debian, it would be quite useless...)

it seems also that, up to today, the patents in FFMPeg were never enforced
on binaries that just do _decoding_

(and actually, binary codecs for decoding are freely downloadable from
the author companies themselves)

----

the doc files were modified as suggested by Adam Warner

----

it is now packaged as a Debian-native, that is, w/o diff,
since I have deleted much code from the upstream tarball
