<PRE>2010/12/8 Oliver Burger &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">oliver.bgr at googlemail.com</A>&gt;:
&gt;<i> Let's devide the repos in those packages, that can be distibuted everywhere
</I>&gt;<i> and those that can't and let the mirror maintainers chose if or if not they
</I>&gt;<i> are willing to mirror the second one.
</I>
That was one of the first suggestions in the whole discussion. The
only problem there is that this again creates a problem with the
mirrorlist system (I remember, I'm writing the same words now that I
wrote some weeks ago!). So, we either abandon the mirrorlist approach
or we have 2 mirrorlists (one with and one without tainted software)
and let the user decide which one he sets up on his system.

&gt;<i> And if you are suggesting not to provide all those packages (which are mostly
</I>&gt;<i> multimedia I think), I'm not with you. I do want a distribution, that can play
</I>&gt;<i> my music and videos and so on without having to build the software for
</I>&gt;<i> myself...
</I>
+1 I am sure this goes for the majority of users.
