In other words, the fastest way to get legal issues with mplayer clarified would be for someone who cared specifically about getting mplayer into Debian putting together a list of the specific questions that need to be resolved before Debian can take the package, and then go to upstream (probably doing research in the mailing list first) and develop answers to those questions. Unfortunately, the hard part in the past has been getting clarity on that first point. It's not at all clear to me that anyone really *knows* what issues need to be resolved before Debian can take the package. You'd probably have to do something like put together a list of the questions that you think need to be resolved and then see if one of the ftp-masters would be willing to read that over and see if it includes everything they were concerned about.
That's definitely the issue - no-one really knows all the issues. There have been endless flamewars over this... Perhaps someone could make a list of relevant d-l discussions and then get someone to read through it and make a list of the main points and check on their progress (not me; i'm too busy.) -- Andrew Donnellan http://andrewdonnellan.com http://ajdlinux.blogspot.com Jabber - [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG - hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0x5D4C0C58 ------------------------------- Member of Linux Australia - http://linux.org.au Debian user - http://debian.org Get free rewards - http://ezyrewards.com/?id=23484 OpenNIC user - http://www.opennic.unrated.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
