Considering your contributions to this thread, I see 3 possibilites: - you are interested in not having a mplayer package in debian, then please clearly say so. I don't have that impression - you are not interested in having a mplayer package in debian, then please refrain from contributing offensive posts like your previous ones. - you are interested in having a mplayer package in debian, then please try to learn the current status and problems why its not in debian (yet). As I said in another post, I don't really know them either, but I'm confident that Andrea and the ftpmaster will come up with an result in due time.
I'd prefer number 3, until there is an alternative that can play absolutely everything Mplayer can it would be great to have it in Debian. However given the fact that 99.999% of Debian people are not subscribed to the MPlayer dev list (and therefore don't know what's going on; me included) and that the MPlayer people haven't in the past contributed too well to legal discussions on d-l, they do have a (probably undeserved) reputation for not caring about patent issues. If my previous mail was offensive to you, please disregard. -- Andrew Donnellan http://andrewdonnellan.com http://ajdlinux.blogspot.com Jabber - ajdlinux@jabber.org.au GPG - hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0x5D4C0C58 ------------------------------- Member of Linux Australia - http://linux.org.au Debian user - http://debian.org Get free rewards - http://ezyrewards.com/?id=23484 OpenNIC user - http://www.opennic.unrated.net
