And there are packages which are in the normal repos as well but PLF offers them with a wider functionality. As already mentioned Mplayer and VLC. Anyway, whatever you decide, it will be a non-ideal decision because the circumstances are very different in many countries, As this is the case it all comes down to - either have everything together and let the mirror maintainers and users sort it out (if needed) - or have one (1) separate repo with everything not clearly without dubious contents, making it easy for the mirrors to exclude and for the users to set or not to set. I am not sure I understand what was the problem with the "Mandriva" solution. This model is/was easy for users and mirrors likewise (according to my experiences with users and mirrors over the last years). Certainly I can't tell for the developper side. -- wobo
