I've not tried to rebuild and thus neither to possibly fix xine-lib 1.2 
if needed. I'll take a look.

I don't know and adding more tricks to the already complex packaging of 
xine-lib and xine-lib-extras-freeworld is not really appealing to me.

My option of choice is to fully move xine-lib 1.2 to RPM Fusion, 
together with all depending packages. This will remove the overhead of 
maintaining xine-lib in Fedora and xine-lib-extras-freeworld into RPM 
Fusion. Maintainers of depending packages seem ok with moving to RPM 
Fusion, with the only drawback that they'll need to learn another 
maintenance process (I sent a mail asking about the "modernization" of 
the RPM Fusion build infra to be more closely matched to Fedora's, but 
did not get an answer [1]).
I have opened a review bug for xine-lib 1.2 [2].
What's not clear to me is if the depending packages that will be moved 
from Fedora need a re-review or not. See [3].

It would be a shame to loose xine-lib. Let's make it not happen :-)

Ok, will do.
