><i> Hi all!
</I>><i>
</I>><i> As I've noted in some previous emails, our core/tainted media codec
</I>><i> split-up is currently arbitrary without any specific logic.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> As far as I remember, the tainted policy is that codecs for formats that
</I>><i> are claimed to be covered by patents should be there.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Per that policy, at least the AC-3/DTS/MP3/MPEG-2/MPEG-4/H.264/VC-1
</I>><i> decoders and AC-3/MPEG-2/MPEG-4 encoders we have in core should be moved
</I>><i> to tainted section. Note that this will make most current
</I>><i> .mkv/.avi/.mp4/.mov/.wmv/.mp3 files unplayable without packages from
</I>><i> tainted section.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I've covered the other-distributions status earlier [1] in more detail,
</I>><i> but a quick rehash: Fedora doesn't have these codecs at all,
</I>><i> Debian/Ubuntu ship them in Main section, Arch has them as well.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> The (probably slightly incomplete) list of source packages that need
</I>><i> some action (completely or partially moved to tainted) can be found below.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Shall I implement the move of the packages?
</I>><i> (after the current ISOs process is done)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Needs to be moved completely to tainted:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> a52dec - AC-3 decoding library
</I>><i> mad - MP3 decoding library
</I>><i> mpeg2dec - MPEG-2 video decoding library
</I>><i> ocaml-mad - uses mad
</I>><i> pymad - uses mad
</I>><i> vdr-plugin-dvd - uses a52dec
</I>><i> vdr-plugin-mp3 - uses mad
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Needs to be moved to tainted or to implement two separate builds:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> alsaplayer - uses mad
</I>><i> audacity - uses mad
</I>><i> k3b - uses mad
</I>><i> kwave - uses mad
</I>><i> lastfm-player - uses mad
</I>><i> libextractor - uses mpeg2dec
</I>><i> libtunepimp - uses mad
</I>><i> mixxx - uses mad
</I>><i> mjpegtools - uses mpeg2dec
</I>><i> normalize - uses mad
</I>><i> qtractor - uses mad
</I>><i> scummvm - uses mad
</I>><i> sox - uses mad
</I>><i> stepmania - uses mad
</I>><i> stratagus2.1 - uses mad
</I>><i> streamripper - uses mad
</I>><i> xbmc - uses mpeg2dec
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Already has dual build, but needs more stuff to be tainted-only:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> avidemux - AC-3 dec+enc, DTS dec, MPEG-2 dec/enc, MPEG-4 dec/enc,
</I>><i> H.264 dec, uses mpeg2dec, VC-1 dec
</I>><i> cdrdao - uses mad
</I>><i> ffmpeg - AC-3 dec+enc, DTS dec, MPEG-2 dec/enc, MPEG-4 dec/enc,
</I>><i> H.264 dec, VC-1 dec
</I>><i> gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg - as above
</I>><i> gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad - uses mpeg2dec
</I>><i> gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly - uses mpeg2dec
</I>><i> mpd - uses mad
</I>><i> mplayer - AC-3 dec+enc, DTS dec, MPEG-2 dec/enc, MPEG-4 dec/enc,
</I>><i> H.264 dec, VC-1 dec
</I>><i> vlc - uses mad, a52dec, mpeg2dec
</I>><i> xine-lib1.2 - uses mad
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I didn't include in the above list several formats:
</I>><i> - ASF (no active licesing program IIRC, Fedora ships it as well)
</I>><i> - MPEG-2 TS (apparently even Fedora ships them, dunno if oversight,
</I>><i> though)
</I>><i> - H.263 (no active licensing program IIRC, relatively obscure when
</I>><i> compared to others)
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> [1] <A HREF="https://www.zarb.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20101012/001084.html">https://www.zarb.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20101012/001084.html</A>
</I>
that's a big list... but then afaict, what you say does reflect the policy that
was presented...
