But it itself isn't tainted, so actually +wouldn't belong in there. But even when you have tainted-free enabled, +and you try to install the package, you need to enable the +tainted-nonfree one. +Or you put it into tainted-nonfree to keep the repos more +self-contained, but then the distinction is rendered useless, as +packages end up there for completely different reasons. + +And if you have to enable both tainted variants anyway, there is no +point in having them separate in the first place other than to please +some bureaucratic nitpicking. + +So by creating a tainted-nonfree repo that only a handful of packages +actually belong into anyway, you create a situation of non-satisfiable +dependencies that make the distinction pointless from a user-POV. + +Much better would then be to create an "ugly" repo (in the spirit of +gstreamer) that contains the "doesn't fit into the other repos" stuff. + +AFAIK only multimedia related stuff falls into tainted-nonfree. And it +is either you want to use it or not. If you want to use it, the user +doesn't care whether it is free or nonfree (by whatever definition, +there isn't the one-and-only definition that everyone agrees with +anyway). You only might care about whether it is tainted or not (and +many don't give a damn about software patents even where they could +apply in theory). It is not like you have a chance in most of these +cases. Either you use a "100% free but sucks" implementation, or you +use the "tainted and possibly "nonfree", but working just fine" one. + +ciao +Christian +</PRE> + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="019720.html">[Mageia-dev] cinelerra/audiokonverter/arista (war Re: rehashing the faac issue) +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="019733.html">[Mageia-dev] cinelerra/audiokonverter/arista (war Re: rehashing the faac issue) +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#19731">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#19731">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#19731">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#19731">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
