Bug#523842: I'd rather remove gmplayer from the mplayer package
CC'ing mplayer-dev-eng for input. Context: We are currently discussing here the debian package of mplayer. The question is about mplayer-gui/gmpayer. Currently both gui and non-gui versions are shipped in the same package. Should the gui version of mplayer be included in the debian package at all, or only in a seperate package? Cesare Tirabassi norse...@ubuntu.com writes: With the current status of the gui as shipped by mplayer upstream (old, buggy and unmaintained, mplayer upstream is actually recommending it to not be distributed) and with the excellent standalone gui's we have today (smplayer, kmplayer, gnome-mplayer, etc.) it really doesn't make any sense to have the gui included in the mplayer package. Instead of adding an mplayer-nogui package I think that it would really makes sense to remove the gui from the mplayer package and, if really deemed necessary, have an mplayer-gui (or gmplayer) package which includes the deprecated gui. I think this is an interesting point. Diego, Andrea, how do you feel about that? We could save quite some depenendencies from the mplayer package by just dropping mplayer-gui/gmplayer. Is the state of mplayer-gui/gmplayer really that bad as Cesare suggests? -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu

I never understood why the mplayer binary was shipped in two conflicting packages, and removing gmplayer from the mplayer package would allow us to simplify dependencies for smplayer, kplayer, etc. I think the gmplayer binary should be moved into a separate binary package called gmplayer, and mplayer-nogui made transitional to mplayer. I would suggest also discussing this issue with Christian Marillat of debian-multimedia.org. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknttZkACgkQGSKqQPshyAorZQCbBn/k2AeWlHu+zGGRp4WahRyM w4wAnAy5OIDlz9JZoqHHLl4/PSvuvARE =PgmV -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
