If you don't want it, don't install it, but then please do not complain when the codecs it provides don't work.

That's a valid package name, nothing to worry about. You can read more on the gstreamer site

Ta, i wasn't worried, just thought it was funny to have "bad" in the name.

I thought the smiley in the subject made that very clear, but this mailing list is so serious that levity is verboten!

Larry Perhaps we need a levity font :)

Yes, the first time I saw that name I was very surprised. Why would I want bad software? Or even ugly software? What programmer would do that? But as it was needed and instructions said to install them all, I went ahead. That was years ago. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

We should rename all the things in openSUSE:Factory:NonFree then and have them prefixed by NonFree-. Then ask the question again why would anyone want nonfree software :-p

Which means what?

Non-free means not free software. What you're describing is "freeware" which is proprietary and should be labeled as such. Tautologically nothing in our repos require user payment, so I legitimately don't understand where price comes into this. FWIW, I wouldn't have a problem with the repo being called openSUSE:Factory:Proprietary. -- Aleksa Sarai Software Engineer (Containers) SUSE Linux GmbH https://www.cyphar.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
