ITP: vlc (VideoLAN Client) vlms (VideoLAN Mini Server)
I intend to package vlc, a DVD and MPEG2 video player, and vlms, a broadcasting server application which reads the same files as the vlc and can send them to it on the network. Although they can easily be interfaced with it through a pipe, neither vlc nor vlms contain DeCSS code. I'm working upstream for the project as well, so I'll take care not to add suspicious code. Source can be found on http://www.videolan.org/downloads.html (vlms is to be released very soon (tm)) Along with the vlc package are a few other packages: vlc-alsa, vlc-esd, vlc-fb, vlc-ggi, vlc-glide, vlc-gnome, vlc-sdl, which are output plugins I put apart because they had their own dependencies. Package: vlc Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: graphics Installed-Size: 538 Maintainer: Samuel Hocevar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Version: 0.1.99g Depends: libc6 (= 2.1.2), xlib6g (= 3.3.6-4) Description: VideoLAN Client - a free MPEG2 and DVD player VideoLAN is a free MPEG2 software solution. .

The VideoLAN Mini Server lets you broadcast or multicast MPEG2 Transport Streams which can then be displayed with the VideoLAN Client. -- Sam.

Directly in the package description ? I thought of putting it somewhere in the README or HOWTO, as well as documentation on how to read encrypted ones as well.
