But there's a bad news to it also. Instead of saying EFLs, I should now say some EFLs. :-( emotion BuildRequires /usr/bin/xine-config which is provided in FC by the package xine-lib-devel. Well this xine-lib-devel or xine-lib or associated package libfame is NOT and will NOT get into either Fedora Core CDs or FC extras repository due to legal/patent issues. It means that apps that depend on emotion or BuildRequires: emotion-devel will not make it to FC extras and still has to stay in a 3rd party repository. So stuff like eclair.spec emotion.spec engage.spec e_utils.spec ewl.spec examine.spec will not make it to FC extras unless BuildRequires: emotion-devel becomes optional. But so far when i removed the emotion-devel Build Requirement, the above packages (bar emotion of course) failed to compile. -- With kind regards, Didier. ------------ Yum/apt repository for DR17/EFL: http://sps.nus.edu.sg/~didierbe Didier F.B Casse PhD candidate, Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) National University of Singapore. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
