hi I just want to say that some time ago Dariush Pietrzak <eyck@ghost.anime.pl> and I decided to package mplayer when we uploaded for the first time, the ftp-installer had some (good) reasons not to accept it so we went into it and tried to clear all possible problems w.r.t. DFSG: we sent e-mails to any author of any piece of code that was suspicious, and at the end we did a packaging of mplayer 0.90 rc4 that we thought was ok it is in deb http://tonelli.sns.it/pub/mplayer/ ./ unfortunately it has never been accepted, and we never received a reply when we uploaded it (and, I have sent many e-mails) also, last time I checked , mplayer was in the list of programs that cannot be packaged for Debian this is, simply said , why nobody is mantaining mplayer in Debian :-( I am still willing to mantain mplayer, but I will not do any work unless someone that has ftp-installer priviledge in Debian states that s/he will help (= examine it when we upload and tell if it can go into Debian, or why it cannot go) ( last time I tried, it looked as if there was some automatic filter that drops mplayer from the incoming queue: indeed, I never received the e-mail reply 'mplayer is new, please wait' that is sent on upload of a new package) a. ps: I am not subscribed to the list -- Andrea Mennucc "E' un mondo difficile.
