Beware that totem-mozilla uses either xine or gstreamer as backend (sorry if I am repeating myself here - I feel it is still relevant). Just using default settings might not be enough - multiple packages fulfill recommends so actual setup also depend on which packages are installed and in what order they got installed. At a minimum you should probably note which backend you used while performing your tests: update-alternatives --list totem-default.dir More clever would be if the script could detect the backend used. Even better if both alternatives was tested (either manually or by the script. Also, it would be quite good if the script could include (as notes at the end) which recommends and suggest for each of the plugin packages was satisfied. Example: totem-mozilla depends on either totem-gstreamer or totem-xine. totem-gstreamer recommends gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is satisfied by the unofficial gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg-full totem-xine recommends libxine1-ffmpeg If you want a static rule, then stating that "All recommends are fulfilled and no non-free or unofficial packages are used" weeds out the unofficial ffmpeg packages, but it is still ambiguous if xine or gstreamer is used as backend. You could state that "All recommends are fulfilled by the primary options..." but I believe that is difficult to verify, and might even be impossible in some cases. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkkpvLwACgkQn7DbMsAkQLjDWACfckgrSKSsre4/jz9ZqFhmRSFj pMAAoI0pFDXuaALrK/L5RXxEmDqWMdbN =veIH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
