Details

As some people might know Xiph released Ogg Theora a while back and it has since been used to stream GUADEC 2004 from Krisitansand and is currently being used to stream the KDE developers conference[1].

Now I noticed that Arch Linux isn't theora enabled yet, and seeing as this would touch quite a few packages like gstreamer, mplayer, xine-lib and so on - I take it that I won't become really popular if I do it myself and release updated PKGBUILDs seeing as these packages are already in Arch and are maintained (not looking to piss anyone off).

Therefore I hereby plead for the maintainers to work with me in getting the first open standardised video steaming format on Arch Linux so to boost it's use and provide valuable largescale testing of the format.

[1] Live video/audio streams as well as archives of the previous talks: http://streamingserver.akademy.kde.org/
This task depends upon

You know me so well... ;P

I'm sending an email to the devs explaining what needs to be done.

Passed this to dorphell, cause he's the guy who actually needs to do it.

We need a libtheora package and to recompile mplayer and xine-lib with libtheora installed (as a dep).

maybe we should rename flyspray to "all bugreports lead to dorphell"
