I received the xorg72 extension from Juanito and it is now posted.

xorg72.uci
xorg72.tar.gz

Thanks Juanito!

These are quite large, be sure to read the info file and that you have enough space to download them.

Please note (as ^hats^ already pointed out) that contrary to what is said in the info file, xorgconfig will not run - if there is a need, I could add the missing files.

I would like to notify all of you in advance of my changes to 'mplayer-nogui.uci':
1. I wish to change the name to 'mplayer.uci':
'gmplayer' = hard link to 'mplayer'
'gmplayer' starts the player in gui mode.
If called with 'mplayer', it will run in text-only mode.
2. I wish to make the codecs a separate package.
This is what I have currently:
w32codecs.uci - 8.5M (everything that can possibly be supported)
w32codecs-essential.tar.gz - 2.3M (Real, vivo, WM)
mplayer.uci - 2.6M (mplayerplug-in - ~140K, 'Blue' skin - ~220K, mplayer binary - 2100K)
There are also desktop shortcuts in `Desktop menu -> MyDSL` to install/uninstall the mplayerplug-in (for Firefox).

This change will make 'mplayer-nogui.uci' and 'QuickTime.qts.tar.gz' obsolete.
Please post if you think anything should be added/changed/removed.
Thanks. :laugh:

I kinda wondered why there was an mplayer-nogui in the first place. The gui is entirely optional and doesn't take up much room.

The one thing I'd be concerned about is the license of individual codecs. Please make sure each one you use is actually allowed to be redistributed, and include any required license texts.

off topic: there are other mydsl forums beside just the testing area. The MyDSL Extensions » Multimedia forum might be a more suitable place for this particular post.

The GUI doesn't compile with dynamic linking on dsl because of the libpng2/ header mismatch in gcc1-with-libs.dsl - my guess is stupid_idiot probably has discovered the same workaround I did (I compiled statically linked), or perhaps a better one.
