Software we won't package
Request: AdobeReader Summary: An application that can view, navigate and print PDF documents Notes: Adobe provides its own Yum repository for Adobe Reader and Flash - see http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/2008/02/adobe_reader_now_available_via.html URL: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html Why not in RPM Fusion: It is not re-distributable. See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/distribute.html Request: libdvdcss Summary: A library for accessing and unscrambling DVDs encrypted with the Content Scramble System (CSS) URL: http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html Why not in RPM Fusion: The short story is: It was agreed on not to ship it due to various reasons around the fact that libdvdcss is a bit more complicated (or dangerous) than all the other software RPM Fusion offeres have. The long story and all the arguments for and against shipping it can be found in the mailing lists archives. Livna and Freshrpms will provide libdvdcss for the forseeable future.
