Best way to install llibdvd-pkg
- Vous devez vous identifier ou créer un compte pour écrire des commentaires
It seems there are only three ways to install libdvd-pkg (without building by yourself).
* add the debian contrib repository, install via apt
* add ubuntu's multiverse repository, install via apt
* download from videolan
Are there any freedom-wise issues with adding one of the two repositories?
I have downloaded the latest release from videolan, but it seems to require use of the 'Meson build system' which I have no idea of what is or how it works.
In this case I prefer ease, but with minimum freedom issues.
Which way is preferable?

Both include non-free software. We had better not recommend them and, indeed, https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/enable-dvd-playback does not. That manual, with a screenshot of Trisquel 8, would benefit from an update. Would you contribute to it?
That advice is actually incorrect, because to install a piece of free software, you simply have to do it. That doesn't necessitate behaving in any other way shape or form, such as impacting the entire trisquel distribution and all of it's users, (or their 'freedom')
it doesn't mean, again, that you have to behave in any other way, or that other people would have to behave in any other way, then simply installing a single piece of free software.
These looping nonsensical 'discussions' are really typical here on trisquel forums, if anyone is seeking real freedom, they should avoid what has become a honeypot for it's destruction.(trisquel.info)

There are several ways to install libdvd-pkg. It is even the title of this thread.

I have never written that adding a repository with proprietary software impacts "the entire trisquel distribution and all of it's users". Anybody doing so on her system loses one of Trisquel's main benefit though: being able to carelessly install anything the package manager proposes without risking to fall into the injustice of proprietary software.

I have noticed here quite a lot of nonsensical discussions during the past ten days. Monologues rather than discussions, actually.

You seek "real freedom", don't you? Why don't you avoid trisquel.info?
