What ever is wrong with "my build" of Mplayer is wrong for everybody else, for I installed it from Blastwave. > Maybe they do not want people to be sued.

And as far as I'm concerned, that is nothing more than an excuse. > The sparse zone conflict can be resolved by mounting a loopback > filesystem if the codecs are located in a separate directory. That is called 'fixing the effect' rather than trying to fix the cause. And the cause in this case is a strike against the standards. I'll be damned if I'm going to go out of my way to configure a *kludge* just because the original packager doesn't understand UNIX System V Release 4. Even sparrows on the branch outside already know that *NOBODY EXCEPT THE VENDOR/DISTRO MAINTAINER* is *ALLOWED* to *WRITE* to /usr! When will people finally realize that! It's only been preached forever and day. > I do not see Sun buying out codec providers anytime soon. Therefore I do > not see the 'potential conflict'.

Nevertheless, the potential for conflict is there and therefore the implementation is not clean, and it can be avoided *GRATIS* just by recompiling and repackaging for /opt, as the standard intends. Problem solved, and it's guaranteed that the conflict can never happen. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
