Is there a way to specify to get just these packages from ATrpms without damaging the underlying production EL 5.7 system (e.g., replacing SL packages by other packages from ATrpms that then cause problems and instability with EL 5.7)?

I also find that Wine is cumbersome to debug when things do not work. Wine is tragic code. Little better than Alpha stage. The developers are just overwhelmed with bugs to fix. And mostly they only fix bugs dealing with video games. But not always. VLC for Windows does run well under wine, which is unusual. VLC's update function even works. Go figure. -T

I don't see a point to that when atrpms and the other repositories are doiing such a good job. That said, if you're in a legal position to use these patented software tools, and you suspect some of the dependencies are extraneous, you can use mock to try building the SRPM in a clean SL 5.7 environment. I can send you, or the group, my /etc/mock files for using a local repo for precisely this sort of work. It's much, much, much more efficient to use mock from local repositories than reaching out to external mirrors, and different configs to work with JPackage or RPMforge repos as well. This keeps from cluttering your working system with a lot of libraries and dependencies that may cause other adventures. But Yasha, VLC is a powerful and flexible multimedia player, It *needs* access to those libraries in order to manage even half of the different formats and encodings it manages.

I am (well) aware of the power of VLC, particularly compared with a number of other offerings/applications, both open systems and proprietary for fee. Although I would very much like to comment upon the issues you have raised concerning the reading and use of legally purchased and owned for-personal-use DVDs across region codes, as this list repeatedly has stated that it is strictly technology for technicians/technologists and devoid of any intellectual issues or discussions -- including societal issues as required under the ACM code of ethics, I shall not take the bait. I would very much appreciate it if you would provide the tools, syntax, etc., for the needed mock build environment, as I presume that the resulting containment is safer than allowing ATrpms to have free reign (and free update requests) for a production end-user stable EL workstation.
