Description Ramiro Salas 2002-08-01 21:01:41 UTC
VideoLan includes:
    * vlc: VideoLAN Client;
    * vls: VideoLAN Server;
    * vlms: VideoLAN MiniServer;
    * network: network tools (VLAN-Server and VLAN-Bridge).
    * libdvdcss: library for decrypting DVDs, used by VLC and VLS.
    * libdvbpsi: library for parsing Program Specific Information from 
      MPEG and DVB streams, used by VLC and VLS.

Of all those, only media-video/vlc

Nick, feel like tackling this?
Comment 2 Nick Hadaway 2002-08-02 11:43:42 UTC
no problem... i'll get right on it.
Comment 3 Nick Hadaway 2002-08-02 13:38:05 UTC
media-libs/libdvbpsi has been added to portage.  This is a required dependancy
of vls.
Comment 4 Nick Hadaway 2002-08-02 14:37:41 UTC
media-video/vls and media-video/vlms have been added to portage.  The only
software left is the network tools... but at the behest of the VideoLAN
developers... 

<snip>
 You should be aware that this server is NOT secure, that means that we are not
responsible if you get big troubles with it. Because of this security problems
please do not make any binary or packages!

I will not create ebuilds for the network tools.  Those packages include
non-secure software, unapproved kernel patches, and other fun stuff.

libdvdcss is already available in portage.  To install vlc with support for
encrypted dvds... you must add "dvd" to your USE variables.  I have also added
libdvbpsi support to vlc by default as well.  Make sure you "emerge rsync"
before you "emerge vlc"
