Well, I took a look anyway. Here are my comments:
* external ffmpeg is a big no-no, we require only static
libav{codec,format,util} linking and it must be a matching
CVS snapshot or the one included with the release
* faad2 - well, we're already shipping our own patched libfaad2,
so this is bad as well
* liba52 and libdvdcss - same as above
So essentially, it should only require lame and mplayer-codecs.
* don't disable mga/xmga
* bitmap fonts - isn't freetype always available on Slackware?
It would be best to use freetype and - for example - the Nimbus
Sans Type1 font from ghostscript (it's GPL'd)
* default skin - why did you change it to Abyss? It should be Blue
Do you intend to provide binary packages at all?
If so, I might have a few more comments.
Regards,
R.
