<rant> Its very obvious the only real reason he doesn't build against it is due to the fact that it is a KDE library. His mplayer is already linked to various other things like say... the GNOME libs, and other useless things like aalib. He also seems to find it amusing to file various RC bugs against some of my other packages and reopen them even when the Debian Release Manager has already said its not a bug. Also for anyone who doesn't already know yet Marillat is the primary GNOME maintainer for debian (which might explain his animosity towards anything KDE related?). </rant> The last I had heard upstream KDE was considering either making arts go away entirely or having it depend on Qt much more for the KDE 3.2 release. I don't know if they have finally made a decision on this however. Chris
