If they accept, then vlc will be recompiled by all third-party repositories, and problem solved for all RHEL/CentOS/SL users. If not, one or all the third-party repositories will have to create libmtp, rhythmbox and vlc packages, but in a repository that can override base packages (so not EPEL). So, can someone from this list and Red Hat subscription open a bug report using Rock's last e-mail (one I responded to)? -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe StarOS, Mikrotik and CentOS/RHEL/Linux consultant
