That's pretty easy to add in the BS, IIRC, it's about creating the dirs
in the repo, modifying media.cfg, and youri + iurt config files.

And maybe one-line to patch in Rpmdrake::Gui to recognize that
nonfree-tainted is not free software (but it looks already broken
anyway).

&gt;<i> I'd have to go with Guillaume on that one.

</I>&gt;<i> However, the three problems with that solution are:

</I>
Maybe because Mageia sysadmins are not always dictators and act upon the
input of other teams.
Pascal and I will be able to do it.

&gt;<i> - there is only faac, so why bother? (fuelling the first reason)
</I>&gt;<i> - the reason that philippe mentioned: is having 3 versions of each
</I>&gt;<i> multimedia package really worth it? ...
</I>
Yep, it's only worth the clarity it offers in media descriptions...
