Your best bet (even though it is a pain) is to build your RPM from source. I can''t build anything that plays mp3s or decodes DVDs and then distribute it ... unless I want to either pay a royalty (for mp3s) or be charged with violating the DMCA (dvd''s). Those are available though. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I''d recommend that one, and recommend using smart/apt/yum/uP2date to install the dependencies.
