Re: Source packages appropriate by default?

For all the general users I install Ubuntu for (including servers), it's an utter waste of bandwidth for everyone, particularly when automatically checking once a day. This is amplified eg in schools without transparent webcaches etc. Anyone get the same feeling that we should have source packages an opt-in?

Announce: MKU for Ubuntu on embedded
Hi list, I would like to present you MKU (MakeUbuntu), a software I wrote to simplify my Ubuntu embedded development needs. The tool was born some time ago when I found that the glorious rootstock was not developed anymore and some of the arm boards I'm intrested in was abandoned from Linaro. MKU was built with the goal to be easy, so It can prepare automatically a complete environment for your arm board, including mlo, uboot, the right kernel and modules, and the right settings for your board (example: console serial port settings, etc...). The rootfs part is based on Ubuntu core for arm. MKU knows your board and it knows where download support files needed, so it can prepare a new environment in a matter of minutes! The rule of thumb is that everything should be in a binary form, so a development environment is not required to use MKU. The software uses a project file with a clear and simple syntax, so you can share it or put it under an SCM without the need to upload the complete and usually big rootfs. I wrote this software to be simple and hackable and it's in a beta stage, feel free to make improvements or suggestions! You can find the software on my personal github here: https://github.com/angeloc/mku Thanks! -- Profile: http://it.linkedin.com/in/compagnucciangelo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: ffmpeg vs libav: Please clarify the situation

Continuing to follow Libav instead of FFmpeg is the more conservative, and IMO the better choice.
