ITP: vlc (VideoLAN Client) & vlms (VideoLAN Mini Server)
I intend to package vlc, a DVD and MPEG2 video player, and vlms, a broadcasting server application which reads the same files as the vlc and can send them to it on the network. Although they can easily be interfaced with it through a pipe, neither vlc nor vlms contain DeCSS code. I'm working upstream for the project as well, so I'll take care not to add suspicious code. Source can be found on http://www.videolan.org/downloads.html (vlms is to be released very soon (tm)) Along with the vlc package are a few other packages: vlc-alsa, vlc-esd, vlc-fb, vlc-ggi, vlc-glide, vlc-gnome, vlc-sdl, which are output plugins I put apart because they had their own dependencies. Package: vlc Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: graphics Installed-Size: 538 Maintainer: Samuel Hocevar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 0.1.99g Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), xlib6g (>= 3.3.6-4) Description: VideoLAN Client - a free MPEG2 and DVD player VideoLAN is a free MPEG2 software solution. . This is the VideoLAN Client. It plays MPEG2 files, DVDs, or MPEG2 streams from a network source. Package: vlms Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: graphics Installed-Size: 52 Maintainer: Samuel Hocevar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 0.1.99-1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2) Description: VideoLAN Client - a free MPEG2 and DVD server VideoLAN is a free MPEG2 software solution. . The VideoLAN Mini Server lets you broadcast or multicast MPEG2 Transport Streams which can then be displayed with the VideoLAN Client. -- Sam.

Directly in the package description ? I thought of putting it somewhere in the README or HOWTO, as well as documentation on how to read encrypted ones as well.

You're right about the Fraunhofer problem. See the WNPP page at

You might be interested in the `-R' option of gpm then.

I must admit I don't really understand the problem here. What
prevents you from going back to console mode ? Moreover, even if the X
server has a problem and keeps dying, startAttempts in xdm is set to 4
by default.

Since Mozilla isn't GPLed yet, perhaps you could ask the author to
add a "can be linked with MPL code" clause like Galeon, to avoid license
compatibility issues ?

Then I suggest the following :
ps ax | grep '[ ]'
I think the 'grep -v grep' kludge usually taught should be avoided.

You might be interested in RTFMing, or checking past bugs, or having
a look at /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config.
Best regards,

Dunno. Shit may happen, you know. But I don't think it's worth Cc:ing
debian-devel and debian-x every time a configuration file changes in
unstable.

Yes, they're done by me as well, but vls wasn't mature enough for inclusion in Debian (compared to vlc) so I was waiting a bit before my ITP.

Yes. Debian does prefer free software, so let's use free software and distribute free software. Are you and/or the snd author aware of the existence of LessTif? snd is even on their compatibility list: http://chronos.cs.msu.su/LessTif/apps.html If I'm not terribly mistaken, this could lead to completely free snd packages.

Well, the interface has a few glitches, but it remains extremely usable. At least it compiled flawlessly against lesstif on my Sid box (both snd 5.8 and 5.9). Don't you think it might be interesting to compile snd against lesstif so that it can come out of contrib? Users who don't mind using non-free software can still install motif instead of lesstif. -- Sam. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
