The VLC Team is looking for official packages with own support (with a set of defined libs and compiler parameters). And thus the work has to be redone in that way.

hmm you will still duplicate work. i think it would be more useful to improve the cooperation with the existing packagers. reviewing their packages. helping them to push the needed patches upstream. getting aware of the problems when packaging VLC. all that doesnt require duplicating the package. and it might add confusion for users.

But don't worry for that: The packages for VLC are not that difficult once you find all the deps to put it :-)

thats just one part. more important is fixing for 64bit or little endian vs big endian. upstream support for biarch installations (lib vs lib64 or lib32(not found on linux but on irix/aix iirc)). darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
