I would like a update bug open on our bugzilla about this (if not done
already)
I would like a preliminary agreement that the fedora package will be
removed.
Specially as not alll possibilities might be done in order for xine-lib to
stay in fedora. (such as bundling a special version of libavformat or else
in xine-lib fedora, as soon as it's not libavcodec)
