</I>I wonder why you can tolerate stuff as 'automatic skype downloader' or
its flash equivalent being in the distribution then.
This kind of code need constant efforts on packager side to keep them
up-to-date, whereas even the most clueless end user could easily
download and install it manually. The ratio between the developper time
spent and the added value for end user is quite low.
On the other hand, this codec issue is totally obscure for any end user,
and the skills needed to rebuild the whole software chain is way out of
scope for the average mageia target population.
So, it would be far more consistent to either follow the debian way of
life, and get rid of flash and skype downloaders, or to make life easier
for end-users, just by adding this miserable faac package in less
problematic repository.
