Hello,

just want to gather some opinions about a metapackage for all those multimedia
stuff. Especially among newbies and beginners there seems to be need for easy
installation of multimedia-related packages, be it codecs, or media players
The intended use case of this was originally to offer an easy one-stop-installation
of the most common and most requested packages,
like flash-plugin, win32-codecs (back in the days when those were still really needed),
libdvdcss, gstreamer-*, lame, transcode, ffmpeg, and also stuff like unrar or wine.


One point in package installation which will be a really mess for a newbie is our actual used package manager.

I think Ubuntu is going the right way with it's Software Center and i'm thinking of adopting it for mageia (Maybe we are allowed to use it, don't know under which license the Ubuntu Software Center is, and it will need some rewriting for rpm support i think).

But it would be a good starting point with the task-multimedia i think.
