#61: Fedora Packaging Guidelines: Weak Dependencies on packages from third-party repos -------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: maxamillion | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: meeting | -------------------------+---------------------
Comment (by ausil):
I am concerned that adding suggetss or reconmends on something like ffmpeg could potentially open up Legal liabilities for unlicensed pateneted codec use. I think that in the third party repos they should use Enhances and Supplements. There is a reason why things are not in fedora, if we link Fedora too closely to any of them it could be seen the same as fedora shipping them.
