Description Terje Kvernes 2003-07-28 17:50:14 UTC

finding this URL: http://forms.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html?src=rpbform
can be a real pain.  since we have the F-flag, adding this information to the
realplayer ebuild would IMHO be very nice to users.  Real.com is impossible to
use, I ended up using google to get into Reals site.  :-)

The mentioned URL is already written to the screen by the ebuild (an eeror) if the file doesn't exist locally. quote from the ebuild (realplayer-9-r6.ebuild):  eeror "Please go to:" eeror "http://forms.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html" eeror "And download the appropriate realplayer binary installer" (and it continues with more explanations.)  Marking invalid.
