But if you do not have working H.264 encoding and the other end supports only H.264 (e.g., Safari 11 or 12.0, they added VP8 support in 12.1 according to Wikipedia), you are stuck. So it is kinda hard to test it in daily use until problems happen. You can use this page to test: https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/pc_test_no_h264.html though that might be testing only what the browser CLAIMS to support and not what actually works. That said, dlopening OpenH264 should work in qt6-qtwebengine thanks to these downstream patches: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/qt6-qtwebengine/blob/rawhide/f/qtwebengine-blink-dlopen-h264.patch https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/qt6-qtwebengine/blob/rawhide/f/qtwebengine-webrtc-dlopen-h264.patch (We do not have these in qt5-qtwebengine, only in qt6-qtwebengine.)

That includes the DRM blob, and I guess it is one of the locations the QtWebEngine looks for it by default. If you want just Widevine without all of Google Chrome, then it is a game of finding and extracting the blob manually. I do not have Widevine at all, which means things like Netflix are just going to fail with an error message. > If there's a way to get the list or test out the supported codecs, I can > do that and report back. I assume at least H.264 works or Netflix would probably not work, would it? Though have you tried it with the FFmpeg from Fedora or only with the one from RPM Fusion? (In principle, both should support H.264 decoding, the one from Fedora through dlopened OpenH264 with a downstream Fedora patch, the one from RPM Fusion through the built-in decoder in FFmpeg.)

Netflix works for you?! I would have expected it to work only if you
manually install the widevine DRM blob into the correct directory.

Then the Fedora package is probably overreporting the supported codecs.
Though on the other hand, at least H.264 is mostly supported by the Fedora
FFmpeg if OpenH264 is available for dlopening (though I have not tested
whether that feature actually works in Chromium/QtWebEngine, it works only
if the application does not hardcode the FFmpeg codec name), so the list
might not be all that wrong even in Fedora.
That said, Chromium also uses a bundled OpenH264 to encode H.264 for WebRTC.
If that is not patched to support dlopening, then we still need a qt6-
qtwebengine-freeworld built with the bundled OpenH264 enabled. We are not
allowed to ship OpenH264 directly in Fedora, only through that Cisco
arrangement.

It will pick up the FFmpeg library, yes, but will it actually report the
proper list of supported codecs to the websites? I doubt it. The list has
always been hardcoded at compile time (picked from one of two manually
hardcoded lists depending on the "use_proprietary_codecs" compilation
option) in Chromium.

Yes, QtWebEngine 5.15 LTS does not build against FFmpeg 5 and hence uses a bundled FFmpeg. In addition, the codec lists reported by Chromium are hardcoded at compile time based on the "proprietary_codecs" compile-time configuration flag and hence just swapping out FFmpeg is not sufficient to fully support the patent-encumbered codecs. > Can we properly obsoletes it instead ?

We are not going to agree then, because I definitely think that including a package is almost always better than not including it. (In my view, that applies even to unmaintained packages, i.e., I do not think being orphaned is a valid reason for a package to get retired either. Though I think I am in the minority there.) Only if the package is entirely unusable for some reason (e.g., because it depends on a server-side service that was discontinued, or because it has broken dependencies and cannot be successfully rebuilt to fix them), it makes sense to retire it. Nobody forces you to use a package if it does not work for you, so why does it hurt to have it there? > Over at Fedora, I recently[1] bumped my head up against a bug in the > RapidJSON package that, as it turns out, has already been fixed in the > upstream repo.

That is an issue with the upstream maintenance status more than with the Fedora package. I can see why the Fedora maintainer would only ship official releases from upstream. Though in this case, I think it would make sense to upgrade the Fedora package to a snapshot, have you tried requesting that? But if upstream does not do releases anymore, it may be time to just fork the upstream and get the fork into Fedora. In any case, I do not see how it is relevant to this discussion.

Those packages are required to keep applications working that have not been ported to newer Qt versions for various reasons. I use several of them daily. (KSensors even *always* runs and that's a kdelibs3 application.) So there is no way I am going to let those packages be retired. Compatibility libraries are the kind of packages that needs to persist basically forever. And again, nobody forces you to use Qt 3 or Qt 3 applications. Retiring Qt 3 would also not get those applications magically ported to Qt 5 or 6, they would just have to be retired too. I do not see how that would be an improvement.

Keep in mind that:
* this is only the kernel module, not the userspace,
* the module is not compatible with the current FOSS userspace drivers (the
current version of Nouveau),
* the current version is only tested for CUDA computations, not for
graphics, and
* the kernel module only supports the latest GPU generations and there is no
plan to support older ones (which will continue to use Nouveau),
so this is a step in the right direction, but pretty useless in the current
state, the benefits will become visible only in the long term (but
eventually they will, just not now).

I do not think this trivial accessor is going to be a maintenance burden of
any kind, so I do not see a good reason not to carry this patch.
Judging from my experience with how Chromium development works, I doubt they
will ever change their code to work the way the FFmpeg developers want, they
will just stop supporting unbundling FFmpeg altogether.

This patch on its own is not going to work for the current qt5-qtwebengine,
the QtWebEngine/Chromium code needs to be modified too to build with FFmpeg
5, because:
1. this patch does not address the "error: invalid conversion from 'const
AVCodec*' to 'AVCodec*'" and "error: cannot convert 'int*' to 'size_t*' {aka
'long unsigned int*'} […] initializing argument 3 of 'uint8_t*
av_packet_get_side_data(const AVPacket*, AVPacketSideDataType, size_t*)'"
that I am also getting, and
2. the patch adds an accessor function for first_dts, whereas QtWebEngine
wants to use the member variable directly.
I guess the latest Chromium has support for FFmpeg 5, but I would have to
backport it to the version (Chromium 87) used in Qt5WebEngine.

Don't we have everything in RPM Fusion building against 4.4 already? Why go
backwards?
qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld should build fine both with 4.3 and with 4.4. Not
with 5.0 though.
I could also switch qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld to bundled FFmpeg though.
Shall I do this for now, until the compat package is ready? Or is bundled
even entirely preferred over using the compat package?

Thank you for the pointer!
With these settings (under %ifarch aarch64):

I obtained a successful build of qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld on aarch64 in
5:38:48, less than half the 13:40:15 that chromium-freeworld took. So qt5-
qtwebengine-freeworld is no longer the slowest build in RPM Fusion. :-p

qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld vs. aarch64
--- Begin Message --- Hi, since chromium-freeworld, which is based on the same codebase and takes almost twice as long to build on x86_64 as qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld, has had several successful builds on aarch64: https://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=506 I have decided to give qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld on aarch64 another try. Unfortunately, my 2 attempts so far have hit strange errors: 1. The first attempt built all the files coming from upstream Chromium, including several *jumbo*.cc ones that had caused trouble in the past, just fine, but then failed near the end building the Qt glue code: at 23703/23802, the build hit an OOM kill building obj/QtWebEngineCore/content_browser_client_qt.o: g++: fatal error: Killed signal terminated program cc1plus (This is one of the last files built as part of the Chromium build, then a successful build would move on to files built using qmake-qt5, which are not counted. But still, this is close to the end of the build process, and the heavy Chromium stuff has already been built at that point.) 2. The second attempt is even stranger: the aarch64 build task: https://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=521517 got stuck in a really strange state where there is no log output anymore (there was at the beginning of the build, so it has vanished somewhere in the process). It looks like the builder crashed altogether. Do you have any idea how we can resolve the issue or should I just go back to building the package on x86_64 only?

As far as I can see, the patch touches only the bluetooth module, so you
need to replace only that module and not the entire library.

IMHO, patches normally do not belong in the lookaside cache. They are text
files, can be diffed, and are normally part of the packaging rather than the
upstream source code (so it is useful to track them in downstream git). The
size does not matter there: I actually used to maintain downstream a 1 MB,
30292 line patch (qtwebengine-everywhere-src-5.10.1-no-sse2.patch), which
was imported in both Fedora and RPM Fusion dist-git.
That said, this particular case, where the patch is actually a cumulative
patch from the release to the current upstream git, is a corner case where
it can be argued both ways (either: it's a text file, import it directly
into git, or: it's an upstream source, import it to the lookaside cache).

I agree that this should move to -free, considering that the copyright license is considered free by both the FSF and Fedora (and that only patents prevent shipping this unrestricted version of fdk-aac in Fedora itself). I used to have some reservations about the freeness of the license, but since the license has been ruled free by both the FSF and the Fedora Project, I no longer see a valid reason for RPM Fusion to decide any differently.

So the issue is the use of pkg-config opengl. That new pkg-config module
does not do what the code (in the handwritten configure) actually expects.
Up to F31, there was no "opengl" pkg-config file at all, so the code falled
back to the hardcoded list of libraries, but on F32, there is no an "opengl"
pkg-config file, and it returns -lOpenGL, not -lGL -lGLU.
The problem is that the handwritten configure script invokes this function:
test_library(){
subsys="$1"
libname="$2"
hdr="$3"
lib="$4"
func="$5"
inc="$6"
feature=$(toupper $libname)
# do not test if disabled from command-line
if disabled $feature; then
log "Not checking for $libname"
disable $feature
return 1
fi
disable $feature
# try pkg-config first
if enabled pkgconfig; then
test_library_pc "$subsys" "$libname" && enable "$feature"
fi
# compile/link test as fallback
if disabled $feature; then
test_library_c "$subsys" "$libname" "$hdr" "$lib" "$func" "$inc" &&
enable $feature
fi
}
(contained in the script) as follows (line 404, I compacted the spaces):
test_library X11 opengl "GL/glx.h" "-lGL -lGLU" "glXQueryVersion(0,0,0)"
Changing that to:
test_library X11 OpenGL "GL/glx.h" "-lGL -lGLU" "glXQueryVersion(0,0,0)"
(i.e., s/opengl/OpenGL/ in that line) should fix it, because then it will
look for an OpenGL pkg-config module instead, hopefully not find one
(because pkg-config is case-sensitive), and then use the "-lGL -lGLU" flags
instead.
The second argument of test_library is only used 1. as the pkg-config module
name, 2. for the console output, and 3. fully upper-cased as the feature
name, so it should be safe to change the case to something that does not
happen to be the name of a wrong pkg-config module (while still mapping to
the feature name OPENGL).

That, and there is not even a GPLv4 with which this change could cause
conflicts yet. So of course this is a non-issue.
(I think this Fedora rule of having to announce every license change even in
cases like this makes no sense whatsoever. But RPM Fusion is only following
Fedora rules here, so it would need to be discussed in Fedora.)

I don't think a "rebuild for x" changelog entry is so confusing that it
warrants maintaining separate changelogs for each branch, with the resulting
merge conflicts. If you really think it is confusing, then just be specific,
e.g.:
- Rebuild for new libfoo-2.3.4 in Rawhide
or:
- F32+: Rebuild for new libfoo-2.3.4
As for Rawhide-only or generally Fn+-only changes, you can simply put
something like:
- F32+: drop -python2 subpackage
in your changelog, corresponding to the %if 0%{?fedora} > 31 conditional

The LTS releases are actually the only ones that get cherry-picked to
though. They remove the LTS releases from the merge chain and switch them to
cherry-pick mode once the next release branch (which is of course not LTS)
goes EOL (e.g., Qt 5.6 was switched to cherry-pick mode once Qt 5.7 went
EOL). So, at that point, bug fixes would be submitted against, e.g., Qt 5.8,
and merged from there all the way to dev, and would have to be explicitly
cherry-picked to Qt 5.6 LTS if wanted.
Also, Qt 5.6 is not the only LTS release branch, Qt 5.9 and 5.12 are also
LTS, and Qt 5.15 will be the next LTS (and the last Qt 5.x release branch,
then there will be Qt 6.0).

Re: [x264/f30: 7/7] Merge branch 'f29' into f30
I am NOT arguing that merging from older to newer branches makes sense in a dist-git context (in fact, I'd argue that it does not, because changes should be built for Rawhide first and dist-git requires them to be pushed to master to be built for Rawhide), but: FeRD wrote: > If you were developing a bugfix or a new feature to submit to an upstream > project, would you develop against the code from three releases ago, > submit it as a patch or PR against that code, and tell them to merge it > forward to their current development tree? Of course not, and no project > would accept such a patch. This is not true. Qt and parts of KDE actually work that way: Bug fixes that should go into the release branches should be targeted at the oldest supported release branch and will be merged to the newer releases by upstream. Features should typically go only into dev (Qt) or master (KDE) and so should be targeted against that branch.

I think mongodb should be packageable in RPM Fusion nonfree.

-m32 has always been in the RPM %{_optflags} for 32-bit. This does not mean

I appreciate the work you are doing on RPM Fusion, but could you please be less aggressive? It is quite rude to call any package you don't use yourself "shit". That you don't have time to monitor Bodhi for the Fedora updates is one thing (and Nicolas is right that the solution would ultimately be to script this somehow, if somebody finds the time to implement that), but your rude reaction to the explicit request to move the F29 package (which would have been a one-line command) was already unnecessary. I was simply not aware that I can run the command myself and could have been told so politely. I have never actually asked you to watch Bodhi, just to move the package on my explicit request. Now, the reason I think the self-service approach is not ideal is because there are necessarily some restrictions (e.g., random packagers should not be allowed to mess with the GA repos for already released versions), so handling prereleases like currently F31 leaves room for mistakes. I hope that we can continue working with each other rather than against each other. Hopefully, we can get the infrastructure warts that make this painful for you and/or for us individual packagers sorted out. I realize that we are all very busy. I am, too (which is why I am not yet promising to look into the infrastructure scripts). That said, thanks for moving the F31 package on to the proper tag!

The Koji policy allows moving from updates-testing to updates, but not from
updates to f31-free (GA) nor from updates back to updates-testing.
In this case, Leigh moved it from f31-free-updates to f31-free, so it should

The build succeeded on Tuesday:
http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=12008
and went out to the updates-testing repo.
Now, I accidentally moved it to f31-free-updates, which was not a good idea
because it should really be in f31-free GA, I think. I only realized this
when I had already run the tag move. But now I can't move it to f31-free nor
even back to f31-free-updates-testing, so I need an admin to move it to the
proper tag.
(I think it would be better if you did not tell non-admins to mess with
koji-rpmfusion move-tag at all and just let the admins do all the moves as
in the past.)

Nope. As was already pointed out on the Fedora devel mailing list, there is
a confusion here: unrar is in RPM Fusion and does not use gnustep-base.
unar, the Unarchiver, which has reverse engineered RAR uncompression support
as its main feature, is in Fedora and uses gnustep-base. (It was originally

Copr now has an option to automatically create branches from the Rawhide

it actually does automatically support new Fedora releases as they happen.

Sad! This discussion does NOT belong on proprietary social media! In any case, the OpenMandriva patch that was linked to: https://github.com/OpenMandrivaAssociation/ffmpeg/blob/master/ffmpeg-4.1-dlopen-faac-mp3lame-opencore-x264-x265-xvid.patch does NOT solve the problem because it covers only third-party libraries and not native FFmpeg codecs, some of which are also patent-encumbered, and which cannot be dlopened that easily. Those would still only be addable by recompiling FFmpeg. So the dlopening is entirely useless because RPM Fusion would have to replace FFmpeg anyway. In addition, it also adds dlopening for libraries that are no longer patent-encumbered, such as libmp3lame.

The latter part, dlopening the censored codecs, is unfortunately not
practical due to the way FFmpeg is designed. It is always a monolithic
build, and the codecs have to be selected at compile time. Codec plugins
that can be dlopened would be a major change, to which upstream is actively
hostile. (And no, the Libav fork is not any better for this aspect,
unfortunately.)
What MIGHT work is to ship an ffmpeg-freeworld replacement library using
ld.so.conf.d tricks the same way qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld works,
freetype-freeworld (which is now obsolete because the Fedora freetype
package enables both bytecode hinting and subpixel rendering these days)
used to work, etc. Though binary compatibility may be an issue (e.g., if
software tries to detect at compile time which codecs are supported by the
FFmpeg it is linking to, or if enabling or disabling codecs even changes
the FFmpeg library ABI somewhere), it would have to be checked.
I am not convinced that having such an FFmpeg build in Fedora would be an
improvement over the status quo.

Also, parallelization helps only so much. The linking also takes a couple hours, and that cannot be parallelized. More physical RAM (!) and a faster CPU are the ways to speed that up.

… but if you are fine with builds running more than 2 days and if you're
willing to raise the timeout accordingly (I'd put it at 72 hours to be
safe), I can work with that.
At least, 5.10.0 is not a security update, the security fixes are also in
5.9.3 that is already out in all supported releases (and even in F25, I got
it through just before the EOL). But 5.10.1 or 5.9.4 builds will surely be
needed soon for security.

I don't know how to handle this mess. If I can't get this thing building
without hitting timeouts, I'll have to ExcludeArch it on armv7hl,
unfortunately.
I am already turning off ALL Chromium debuginfo (because the linker runs out
of memory otherwise), I don't think there's much more I can do to speed up
things. Compiling with -Os instead of -O2, maybe? (-O0 would be fastest to
compile, but then I guess it will fail to link again because of the
increased size.)
Building only some builds for ARM is not a workable solution: I will still
end up with those builds running into timeouts (builds are only getting
longer with every release, surely not shorter: we went from 24 hours in 5.8
to 36 hours in 5.9 and now 48 hours in 5.10), and in addition, the qt5-
qtwebengine-freeworld version must match the qt5-qtwebengine version
(because otherwise, qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld would have to include its own
copy of the huge data files).
The only other solution would be for RPM Fusion to get faster 32-bit ARM
builders, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen any time soon,
unfortunately.

HTTP Source URLs are very common in packages (there are probably dozens of

Chromium (and therefore also QtWebEngine) uses OpenH264 (currently a bundled copy, which is why repoquery does not turn up any dependencies on the shared library for you) for encoding in WebRTC. Chromium does not use x264 at all, it uses FFmpeg for decoding and OpenH264 for encoding. (There is also no support for using only OpenH264, decoding always uses FFmpeg.)

qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld also uses a bundled openh264. As of 5.9.0, it
cannot even officially be unbundled. They added support for that since, I am
not sure in what release exactly that will ship. It could probably be
backported, …
… but the main issue I have with building against the openh264 repository is
that this would then introduce a dependency on yet another repository for my
users. I think that in this case, it may make more sense to just keep the
bundled version (also in chromium-media-libs-freeworld, which is in the same
situation).
That, or actually ship openh264 in RPM Fusion free. It's not like RPM Fusion
has to care about the patent issues that force that Cisco-hosted repo to
begin with. (RPM Fusion free already ships at least one H.264 decoder (the
builtin decoder in FFmpeg) and at least one H.264 encoder (x264), both of
which support more of the standard than OpenH264, so shipping OpenH264
should not expose RPM Fusion to any additional liabilities.)

Huh? Upstream says 3.1 is API- and ABI-compatible to 3.0 (with only one
application needed fixing for some reason), so it should be perfectly
suitable as an update. This is similar to Qt upgrades that have often been
done in Fedora (where there are also a few odd packages that invariably need
rebuilding due to (ab)using private Qt APIs).
Introducing a second package for the new version is a horrible idea, it will
lead to symbol conflicts (in applications accidentally transitively linking
both versions) and a waste of space. I would just upgrade the existing
package to the new version.

Right, it's hard to automatically verify wildcards, so they don't do it. You
don't want it to end up like the rogue CA that gave somebody a *.github.io

It is of course also necessary to restrict the possible roots if you want to
verify control of the domain name, or I could let it verify example.com on
my own (hypothetical) rogue .com root. And the easiest way to do that was to
just hardcode the ICANN roots, which are widely recognized as the "official"
ones.

It doesn't allow wildcards, but it allows you to give up to 100 SANs
(subject alternative names) for a certificate (the canonical one and 99
more). So you can use the same cert for all *.rpmfusion.org subdomains
(unless there are more than 100), but of course you don't have to.

Replacing libmedia.so is unfortunately not enough. The USE_PROPRIETARY_CODECS compile-time flag is checked all over the place, even in the application layer.

If you want to have a try at fixing this, look, e.g., at the member variable
media::MimeUtil::allow_proprietary_codecs_, i.e., the way it is initialized
(to a compile-time hardcoded value) and the way it is used (in several
places).
The right way would really be to remove the boolean variable (which only
allows a binary all-or-nothing approach to patent-encumbered codecs)
entirely and query for each individual codec at runtime. But then, you will
likely be querying FFmpeg directly, whereas for Samsung's GStreamer backend
(which is also affected by this issue, see
https://github.com/Samsung/ChromiumGStreamerBackend/issues/16 ), one would
have to query GStreamer directly instead. You would also likely be touching
several code places related to codec support.
A less invasive approach would simply try to initialize
media::MimeUtil::allow_proprietary_codecs_ to a runtime-detected value.

If it's not build as a shared library, then it's statically linked and
cannot be replaced at all (without recompiling the entire Chromium). And
anyway, you are also going to run into issue 3 (the hardcoded codec lists)
if you don't recompile the whole Chromium.

There is an expectation that Fedora packages run on any CPU supported by Fedora. For i686, that is currently any i686 CPU with cmov. You are not allowed to assume ANY vector instructions, not SSE2, not SSE (1), not even MMX. (It is of course fine to use all of these with appropriate runtime detection.) I think it is very reasonable to expect the same from RPM Fusion packages, considering that RPM Fusion's policy is normally to follow Fedora policies except for licensing stuff and kernel modules. This is all the more true for a library package, where the library can end up being used in many applications. Those applications will not necessarily want to encode H.264 in real-time, it can be perfectly acceptable for something like the ffmpeg command line to take longer than the video's playing length to encode it. So for those stuck with such an old machine, it is better to have a library that works (slowly) than one that just crashes with a SIGILL (illegal instruction). I know some upstreams are uncooperative at this. Aggressive reverts of offending upstream patches are one solution, changing #ifdefs from something like: #ifdef __i686__ to something like: #if defined(__i686__) && defined(__SSE2__) are another. I did a combination of both to fix QtWebEngine: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/qt5-qtwebengine.git/tree/qtwebengine-opensource-src-5.7.0-no-sse2.patch (The Chromium packaging should also use such a patch, but currently doesn't. Send your complaints about that to spot. :-) ) Kevin Kofler

It might not be enough to replace the chromium-ffmpeg, you may need a
complete chromium-freeworld rebuild with the enable_proprietary_codecs flag
on. There is code in Chromium itself which hardcodes the list of available
codecs (which is provided, e.g., to websites querying for supported codecs)
depending on that compile-time flag. The GStreamer backend in Samsung's fork
currently has the same issue, which pretty much defeats the point of using
GStreamer. See also
https://github.com/Samsung/ChromiumGStreamerBackend/issues/16
If things like Pepper plugins and Widevine DRM support are not compiled in
(as was mentioned elsewhere in this thread), that would be another possible
reason for rebuilding the entire package. (For what it's worth, QtWebEngine
actually enables support for both of them, there just aren't any blobs
shipped – if you want Pepper Flash or the Widevine DRM blob (which is also
shipped as a Pepper plugin), you need to get them from Chrome or elsewhere,
downloading Chrome being probably the only legal way to get them.) That
said, if you're going to install the proprietary Chrome anyway to get those
proprietary blobs, why would you even bother with the Chromium package? (It
makes more sense for QtWebEngine, which integrates the Chromium/Blink engine
into native Qt applications.)
> (unless this chromium use gstreamer ?)
It doesn't. Spot's package is a package of upstream Chromium without
Samsung's changes.

If this is all your own code (and not some external non-free and/or patent-
encumbered dependency), I would strongly recommend you to pick a license
acceptable for Fedora for your work, so that it can go into Fedora proper
rather than into RPM Fusion.

Re: State of the RPM Fusion repository for f22
Nicolas Chauvet wrote: I've headed a mass rebuid on my own koji instance for f22-free and it's nearing completion. Unfortunately, a mass rebuild of the current CVS contents without separate branches for F21 and F22 does not help me at all for freetype-freeworld. I absolutely NEED a separate F21 branch to be able to do any work on the F22 version. The package ought to track the version of Freetype in Fedora. I cannot do this with one devel branch for 3 (!) different releases (F21, F22, Rawhide/F23). Why can we not have CVS branches for F21 and F22? Kevin Kofler

Re: ms-sys in rpmfusion?
Jaroslav Skarvada wrote: ms-sys is a Linux program for writing boot records, including Microsoft compatible boot records [1]. The code is under GPLv2+, but it seems it embeds some Microsoft IP - hexdumps of MS boot records stored in C header files. Fedora refused this package [2]. My question is: is the ms-sys package eligible for rpmfusion? I don't think so. The hexdumps contained in there are not redistributable at all. RPM Fusion ships only what can be legally redistributed, at least by RPM Fusion itself. IMHO, you should rather try to get http://sourceforge.net/projects/ms-sys-free/ into Fedora instead.

I wrote: IMHO, you should rather try to get http://sourceforge.net/projects/ms-sys-free/ into Fedora instead. Actually, I'm not convinced this is really acceptable, either. E.g.: http://sourceforge.net/p/ms-sys-free/code/ci/master/tree/inc/br_fat32fd_0x52.h says: /* br_fat32_0x52.h // // ANI // substring gmbh/tw 14.9.04 // modified bootstrap code 0x052 to support FreeDOS so it looks like this doesn't actually come from the FreeDOS project, but is a derivative work of the proprietary hexdump.

Re: FFmpeg bundling exception for XBMC

It shall be noted that it is NOT necessary to use their DLL loader (presumably a cross-platform wrapper around dlopen) to load FFmpeg (the main stuff they removed), it is enough to link the system shared library directly. So the actual CODE does not need to be any different than for static linking, only the build setup needs to link the shared library. Kevin Kofler

It should be simple for you to continue building against your own custom FFmpeg package - you will just need to flip the without external_ffmpeg conditional to with external_ffmpeg when you rebuild your XBMC. See the ongoing work at http://fedorapeople.org/cgit/alexlan/public_git/xbmc-rpm.git If you're going through the effort of patching the code to work with the system FFmpeg anyway, why not make it the default?

Finally a Free Software 3D CAD solution. (OCE 0.14) However, that is unfortunately NOT true! Only OCE 0.15 and higher (current git master) have the new license. The current stable 0.14.1 is still licensed under the old proprietary license. OpenCascade 6.7.0 was imported only after OCE 0.14 was branched. I need to double check but I think that means that this can now move to Fedora proper. As far as I can tell, it has been relicensed by the copyright holder, so there should be nothing preventing it from entering Fedora anymore. But only git master, or version 0.15 and higher when released, can be imported into Fedora, NOT 0.14.x or older. Kevin Kofler

comps-devel update needed for xine-lib 1.2

Namely: * remove xine-lib-extras-freeworld (without replacement) * add kaffeine as optional to kde-desktop. It used to be optional in kde-desktop in Fedora before it was moved. (I don't think I can edit comps directly in RPM Fusion as I can in Fedora, can I? Allowing that and documenting it would remove that burden from the admins.) Kevin Kofler
