Spec URL: http://www.diffingo.com/downloads/diffingo-repo/totem-xine.spec SRPM URL: http://www.diffingo.com/downloads/diffingo-repo/totem-xine-2.20.0-1.lvn8.src.rpm Description: Totem is simple movie player for the GNOME desktop. It features a simple playlist, a full-screen mode, seek and volume controls, as well as a pretty complete keyboard navigation. totem-xine is linked against xine-lib, unlike the Fedora package which is linked against gstreamer. rpmlint output: totem-xine.i386: W: obsolete-not-provided nautilus-media totem-xine.i386: W: conffile-without-noreplace-flag /etc/gconf/schemas/totem-handlers.schemas totem-xine.i386: W: conffile-without-noreplace-flag /etc/gconf/schemas/totem-video-thumbnail.schemas totem-xine.i386: W: conffile-without-noreplace-flag /etc/gconf/schemas/totem.schemas I've based this spec off Fedora's existing totem spec, so I figured it obsoletes nautilus-media without providing it for a reason. Same for the schemas, I figured without noreplace was best based on the existing totem spec.
totem-xine package is already in Livna [1] and being merged into RpmFusion [2]. Please have a look: [1] http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/development/SRPMS/totem-xine-2.18.0-1.lvn7.src.rpm [2] http://lists.fedoraunity.org/pipermail/repo-merge-discussion/2007-October/000645.html
I help maintain totem-xine at Livna, we thought Fedora would be a better place for it now that xine-lib had been moved into Fedora.
Upstream has plans to make the engine selectable at runtime rather than compile time (gnome bz#459539), however for now I'm going to work on a parallel installable version since it shouldn't conflict totem.
I'd be happy to have totem-xine and totem-gstreamer both built from the same source RPM, rather than having 2 different packages, which wouldn't share fixes, updates, etc. I'm not sure just how we'd handle that practically though. Maybe time would be better spent making the backend a runtime option as per upstream.
Like Bastien said it would probably better to modify the current spec rather then two specs for the same package. I'll close this bug and report one against totem instead.
