+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Oliver
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>Every distribution has (or had) this kind of non official but well known
+&quot;third-party&quot; repo ...
+Debian multimedia for Debian
+rpmfusion for Fedora
+packman for openSUSE
+plf for Mandriva
+etc...
+All of them provide faac
+
+Mageia chooses to clearly provide the problematic packages in 2 special
+repos : non-free &amp; tainted (letting mirror administrators include or not
+these repos to respect their own local law )
+Letting users choose to use or not these repos and install the licensed
+or patented programs or non-free drivers or microcodes or downloaders
+(for skype or adobe)
+more simple indeed !
+
+but faac is a platypus (mammalian laying eggs) : both non-free and
+tainted !!!
+it needs a special repo ... same for the programs built with it...
+
+3 ways :
+1)
+Mageia creates an official non-free-tainted repo with a special suffix
+(I proposed long time ago &quot;twisted&quot; suffix so that we may have for
+instance :
+vlc-x.y.z.mga2 in core repo,
+vlc-x.y.z.mga2.tainted in tainted repo,
+and vlc-x.y.z-maga2.twisted in non-free-tainted repo
+
+allowing to simply &quot;update&quot; from core to tainted
+or to &quot;update&quot; from core or tainted to twisted
+
+2)
+We hope that a third-party repo is created by unofficial dev but there
+are risks of bad compatibility (remember Thac's or MIB for Mandrake and
+Mandriva)
+
+3)
+some Mageia dev create themselves an unofficial third party repo (same
+way as plf...)
+
+
+NB : all the spec files, ( for vlc, gstreamer, mplayer-mencoder,
+etc...) inherited from mandriva-plf contains an option to validate a
+build with faac ... just a # prevent this kind of build...
+
+You are allowed to build your own rpms, but it's not very user friendly
+and not easy for a beginner !!!
