Import plans for freshrpms packages; please review!

[Matthias Saou]

Hi everyone,

First of all, sorry for still being so absent... :-(

Following Hans' comment, a few more :

Only useful with the kernel module that requires them. I haven't had to
deal with any card requiring it recently, so I don't know if this is
still current. I'd suggest not importing.

This is so old that I wouldn't import it either. I doubt it still works
with recent MAME romsets.

As Hans wrote : Already in Fedora for the game itself, and the
moviepack has artwork directly taken from the movie... it's "cool", but
presents a legal issue for sure.

One to import! :-)

More recent than the InitialPackageMerge update, can be imported.

Required by the future elisa update in Fedora (still pending...).

Another easy import!

A revived MAME GUI, can be imported and updated too.

I don't have much interest in maintaining it. If someone wants to have
a look...

> gstreamer-pitfdll
> -> Hans?

I think that this one is mostly obsolete. The gstreamer-ffmpeg package
supports most (all?) of the formats this one supported. I wouldn't
import it.

> gxmame

Dead, replaced by gmameui (see above). Don't import.

Could be in Fedora itself, the same author rewrote it as hardlinkpy, so
I wouldn't import it.

I don't have much interest in maintaining this. It's a requirement of
some other multimedia packages IIRC.

Sure to both.

> perl-*

Those are probably all requirements of dvdrip that could go into Fedora.

Have used it a bit a while back. Not sure if it still works fine with
the latest pidgin.

Beware, this is a proprietary shareware.

> rte

Real Time Encoding library. IIRC, required by zapping (a TV program).
If nothing currently requires it, possibly not worth importing.

These two are useful.

> snes9express
> -> import

This one was having problems with the latest Fedora releases. Someone
should check if it still works fine.

> snes9x

Nice little emulator, sure.

These two are useful.

> vstream-client

This was a requirement of some other program. Possibly not needed
anymore.

> xmame

> ->  import

Please don't import these! The last xmame release is quite old, it's
unmaintained. sdlmame is the way to go now, I'm sure Hans will agree :-)

> xmms-aac

Hmmm, gtk1 xmms should die. This is only encouraging it to stick
around ;-)

> xplanet-maps

If the latest xplanet works fine with it.

> xvid4conf

This one is useful.

> vobcopy

This one was already listed earlier ;-)
