Hello,<br>
<br>
just want to gather some opinions about a metapackage for all those multimedia<br>
stuff. Especially among newbies and beginners there seems to be need for easy<br>
installation of multimedia-related packages, be it codecs, or media players<br>
</blockquote></div>
The intended use case of this was originally to offer an easy one-stop-installation<br>
of the most common and most requested packages,<br>
like flash-plugin, win32-codecs (back in the days when those were still really needed),<br>
libdvdcss, gstreamer-*, lame, transcode, ffmpeg, and also stuff like unrar or wine.<br>
<br>
</blockquote></div><br>One point in package installation which will be a really mess for a newbie is our actual used package manager. <br><br>I think Ubuntu is going the right way with it&#39;s Software Center and i&#39;m thinking of adopting it for mageia (Maybe we are allowed to use it, don&#39;t know under which license the Ubuntu Software Center is, and it will need some rewriting for rpm support i think).<br>
<br>But it would be a good starting point with the task-multimedia i think.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Mit freundlichen Grüßen<br><br>Greetings<br><br>Daniel Kreuter<br><br><br><br>
