Some parts of kdemultimedia-extras are really extra components for arts. Arts has been designed to be desktop independent. It's a shame if you can only extend it with the files below if you also pull in the KDE stack. /usr/lib/libarts_akode.la /usr/lib/libarts_akode.so /usr/lib/mcop/akodeMPCPlayObject.mcopclass /usr/lib/mcop/akodePlayObject.mcopclass /usr/lib/mcop/akodeSpeexStreamPlayObject.mcopclass /usr/lib/mcop/akodeVorbisStreamPlayObject.mcopclass /usr/lib/mcop/akodeXiphPlayObject.mcopclass /usr/lib/mcop/akodearts.mcopclass /usr/lib/mcop/akodearts.mcoptype
AFAIK, those bits have integral dependancies on kdemm bits too, so trying to install them without the rest of kdemultimedia doesn't make sense.
How would I find out about such dependencies? Using "ldd" on the .so and reading the .la doesn't show anything. I can only find dependencies on akode and Qt and arts.
After looking closer (mostly with ldd as you suggested), it appears these bits in-fact have only arts-provided dependancies. OK, we may have a shot at something like arts-extras afterall.
Just a followup, this will likely be addressed for Fedora 7. If/when we get that working, we can consider doing likewise for FC5/FC6.
Ran out of time w/F7, maybe F8 with compat-kdemultimedia3
Retargetting F9.
Retargetting F8, F9 will be deprecating arts support (in favor of xine-lib, gstreamer, phonon, pulseaudio, and other more well-supported technologies).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
