It would be nice if this link had snapshots, or if even one of the svn
commandline examples in the README at that path actually does what it implies
even if for just one of the two (mplayer,ffmpeg) svn checkouts so I wouldn't have
this sinking feeling that mplayer's new closed source state is an omen confirming that since
it can't be checked out, that not only has no one been working on it, but also that
no one even cares enough to give a damn.
Despondence comes easily in the face of such inconceivable apathy demonstrated by the package
maintainers. There is a rather diehard, grassroots mplayer userbase that made the regular cvs -dPA inside
/opt/cvs/repository/mplayer a sort of quasi personal religious ritual based on a long since taken
for granted assumption that access to cvs source was an inalienable right and are now experiencing a victim
psychosis similar to that of having been raped repeatedly.
Does anyone have a fairly recent, and demonstrated to be able to compile, source snapshot that they would
care to share with those of us experiencing the aunguish and victimized depths of such pathological tragedy?
