Description of problem: looking at the spec file in cvs. BuildRequires: gcc-c++, libdvdread-devel, libogg-devel,libvorbis-devel libdvdread is not in extras... as a result ogmtools as currently implemented in Extras isn't going to build cleanly.. if its ever requested to be built. Either ogmtools needs to be pulled out or libdvdread needs to be included Now I've had a little discussion with some other people about whether or not libdvdread can be included into Extras. The finer technical points are just beyond my feeble brain's comprehension, but I'll give you my limited understanding of the situation as was explained to me. libdvdread should be okay to include in Extras because libdvdread dlopens libdvdcss. Its libdvdcss that can not be included into Extras. The outstanding technical question becomes... what happens if libdvdread goes to dlopen libdvdcss but can't find it? If libdvdread and applications that use libdvdread can handle the situation when libdvdcss isnt available then there shouldn't be any problem including libdvdread into extras. I'm not equiped with enough understanding to facilite a discussion on the matter, so I'm bringing it to your attention in the hopes you can find the best solution that works for the ogmtools package. As it stands now ogmtools can not be built because libdvdread-devel is not part of Extras or Core. -jef
