default media player

[Matthias Saou]

Hi,

Just to add a little more to the topic : I'm currently filing a few
EasyFix bugs for rpmlint found problems against FC Development packages,
in order to get minor stuff cleaned up before the FC4 test3 freeze. Well,
I saw that the .mo translations in HelixPlayer weren't colored properly,
so I started preparing a patch against the latest spec to properly add "%
lang(xy)" to the %files lines (as i don't know how to use %find_lang with
more than one translation file base name)... well...

1) I've rarely seen such an ugly spec file. For me, the contents are
clearly the results of bad or broken bits : Manual operations all over the
place, ugly hacks, many excluded archs... and it doesn't seem easy to
clean up. 2) The current package doesn't even recompile, as it expects to
find g++33 which is nowhere to be found in the current distribution (the
compat is for gcc32 only AFAICT). Packages relying on specific compiler
versions are plain evil, right? :-)

Anyway, I'm really glad to see that the latest comps.xml now includes
Totem by default. But my concern here is that it also has HelixPlayer as
"default", when it should probably be "optional" instead : Don't we
usually want to include by default only one application for a specific
task? (and move the others to Extras, btw ;-))

So here you go :
