<p>My 2 cts ( i'm the host of livna and download1.rpmfusion.org), as
you all know i host them in a private AS in France, so you can do
as you want with my server, providing the lib<br>
in the rpmfusion vhost is not a problem for me :) Feel free!</p>

That reminds me how openh264 is dealt with in fedora.<br>
Can anyone sum-up the existing methods used by various
distro about this issue ?<br>

<div>I did a little research.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>libdvdcss is Mageia Tainted repository, an official
Mageia repository that hosts packages that they may
infringe on patents and copyright laws in some countries.
E.g. most multimedia codecs are shipped in this
repository.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>It is included in Arch Linux, in the extra repository
(i.e. non core packages).<br>
<br>
libdvdcss is not included in Debian, Ubuntu and SUSE.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Debian users must use Debian Multimedia repository -
which is not part of the Debian project but it is
maintained by Debian developers or maintainers and
therefore it seems similar to RPM Fusion.<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/libdvdcss.git/tree/debian"
target="_blank">https://anonscm.debian.org/git<wbr>/pkg-multimedia/libdvdcss.git/<wbr>tree/debian</a><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Debian multimedia also provides libdvd-pkg.
`dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg` may be used to build and
install libdvdcss* package(s).<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/libdvdcss-pkg.git/tree/debian"
target="_blank">https://anonscm.debian.org/git<wbr>/pkg-multimedia/libdvdcss-pkg.<wbr>git/tree/debian</a><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>This package is also provided in Ubuntu 15.10+ and it
must how their users must install libdvdcss:<br>

target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/commun<wbr>ity/RestrictedFormats/PlayingD<wbr>VDs</a><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Debian/Ubuntu uses can also use a VideoLAN repository
to install libdvdcss:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html"
target="_blank">http://www.videolan.org/develo<wbr>pers/libdvdcss.html</a><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>VideoLAN also hosts a repository for SuSE users which
includes libdvdcss.<br>
</div>
</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Libdvdcss is already packaged for Fedora in Remi's RPM
repository and in United RPMS.<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

target="_blank">http://rpms.famillecollet.com/<wbr>fedora/24/remi/i386/repoview/l<wbr>ibdvdcss.html</a><br>

target="_blank">http://unitedrpms.sourceforge.<wbr>net/x86_64/repoview/libdvdcss.<wbr>html</a><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Summarizing, these are the methods we can implement:<br>
<ol>
<li>ship libdvdcss in the free repository</li>
<li>ship libdvdcss in a newly created repository<br>
</li>
<li>ship a package that can build and install libdvdcss
in the free repository<br>
</li>
<li>don't ship libdvdcss and refer to another (non RPM
Fusion maintained) repository</li>
</ol>
<p>Maybe we should ask various RPM Fusion mirror
maintainers what they think about and what is their
preferred method to ship libdvdcss.<br>
</p>
<p>Bye,</p>
