Absolutely, because I had a choice: "I" knew what XMMS was. A newbie wouldn't know. If he was very careful a newbie would read: "Xmms-MPlayer is an input plugin for XMMS that allows you to play all audio and video files in XMMS. Thus, allowing you to use XMMS as a playlist frontend for MPlayer. This project aims at merely being a connecting link between XMMS and MPlayer. It does not intend to get involved into any processing of video files, all that is left to MPlayer." This looks nice, but it's pain to get XMMS working for a newbie and the application is considered legacy. Wouldn't it be nice if it wasn't in the list of applications that are suggested to install with mplayer? I'm sure people who love XMMS would find it very easy to install with yum... or even rpm. > It is clear from the discussion that you have mistakenly installed and > uninstalled some packages. You know how it is, sometimes you get tired, you don't feel like checking, you don't or can't evaluate the consequences. I'll certainly take a closer look now, but, once again... How would anybody not familiar with gpk-application imagine that by removing a CD/DVD burner that doesn't work, namely Brasero, he'll also remove a very valuable application for listening to music (Rhythmbox) and, by the same occasion, also remove sound-juicer, which I know little about, but I suppose could be useful for other applications? I reinstalled sound-juicer with yum in case I later get faced with a ripping problem and I don't remember it has been removed. I was never advised that I had to install Brasero, neither was it even suggested. So why does erasing Brasero suggest to erase sound-juicer? IANAP and maybe the logics of what I ask would be too complicated to implement but, if not, wouldn't it make life easier for most users? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
