Re: First steps of the transition from Livna to RPM Fusion begins now for livna-devel users!

Hi! I can just endorse that... For me as an author of a German Fedora blog, I am always having mixed emotions about Livna. On the one hand, it's undoubtedly an important repository for Fedora. On the other hand, I am not allowed to mention it because this could indirectly be illegal advertising for a copy protection remover, which can be punished with up to one year of prison in Germany. I know that other German Fedora authors are thinking the same about that. Livna is "that certain repository" with sweet content, but also with a bad smell. I also offer a web service where changes in yum repositories are constantly tracked. I always wished to add Livna, but I didn't because of the same legal considerations. I see it that way: You have put a lot of effort on RPMfusion. You already offer a lot of packages that are important and also legal for non-commercial distribution. RPMfusion will be, without any doubt, the most important 3rd party repository for Fedora. It would be sad to waste all this great work because of just a single package. It would be stupid to give away all that free advertising in wikis and blogs and magazines, just to keep that single package. After all, libdvdcss is just a "rpm -ivh http://someotherserver" command away, for those people who really want to have it. Just my 2cc... Best regards -- Richard "Shred" Körber
