<PRE>Guillaume Rousse a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> Hello list.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> The case of faac package has been discussed several times already:
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1730">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1730</A>
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://www.mail-archive.com/mageia-dev@mageia.org/msg08059.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/mageia-dev@mageia.org/msg08059.html</A>
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/2012-June/016673.html">https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/2012-June/016673.html</A>
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> So far, the conclusion was than we had no perfect solution to handle the
</I>&gt;<i> case of a software being having both licensing and patents issue,
</I>&gt;<i> whereas usually software only suffer from one of these problems only,
</I>&gt;<i> and than creating a dedicated 4th repository was unreasonable. Hence the
</I>&gt;<i> removal of the package from the mirrors (but not from our svn...).
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Given the importance of this package for several multimedia-related
</I>&gt;<i> software (it is a mandatory dependency for cinerella, for instance), I
</I>&gt;<i> think it's time to revisit this decision, and rather look for a
</I>&gt;<i> pragmatic solution rather than a merely bureaucratic one. So far, I
</I>&gt;<i> didn't see anything in the line of &quot;we don't want to distribute it&quot;,
</I>&gt;<i> rather &quot;we don't know how to do it&quot;...
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> For me, the simplest solution is just to decide between non-free and
</I>&gt;<i> tainted repository where this piece of code fits better (or sucks less),
</I>&gt;<i> eventually document the exception somewhere on the wiki, and stop
</I>&gt;<i> getting blocked eternally by our own rules...
</I>
unfortunately ...
three weeks after the last post on this thread
a long silence
and there is nothing new in Mageia...

Thanks again to Blogdrake's Repo !
