Ok. Totem and libxine1 have been uploaded (should hit the mirrors after
1:00am EST tonight). Totem works very nicely. libxine1 can coexist
with libxine0, and I decided to create libxine1-dev and have it conflict
with libxine-dev to minimize any conflicts-- however installing libxine1
will remove xine-ui in woody.
I am not particularly interested in maintaining a xine backport, but am
open to it if there are compelling reasons to backporting xine in
addition to totem.
Comments are welcome.
