Hi Kevin,

I haven't answered to your previous topic, But I was wondering that:
I've seen that several fedora packages was bundling some part of the
offending library in their source tarball already. That's the case for
a default sound server in fedora.
Maybe it can be done the same for xine-lib ?

Once that said, as a package coordinator. I feel like it will be
easier to me to only have xine-lib within RPM Fusion than to get in
sync with fedora updates.

I think it would be fine to have a formal package review request in
RPM Fusion so anyone have a chance to comment on what will be
introduced as a replacement.


Thx for your work on the topic.
