kubuntu-restricted-extras

I am not to sure how well this will be perceived, but it is worth confirming and wishlisting. Thanks for the report.

I think this is great idea and we should do it. Now that we have universe/multiverse by default, I see no good reason not to do it. It is just meta package and users has to opt-in (like they have if they install those packages manually).

This is what ubuntu-restricted-extras depends on:
  Depends: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
  Depends: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
  Depends: msttcorefonts
  Depends: flashplugin-nonfree
  Depends: sun-java6-plugin

sounds sane to me. what's the list of things that should go in it?

I think it's a good idea. kubuntu-restricted-extras should at least depends on :

libxine1-plugins
flashplugin-nonfree
sun-java6-plugin

well everyone knows my restricted stance :) Anyways, I think soon the Sun Java6 stuff won't have to be restricted, I hope.

There are a few others that could be added to the restricted as well though, make it the one stop shop for making their system behave like Windows I guess. ewww, don't like it, but end users do.

Uploaded to ubuntu, sitting in the NEW queue.

now part of ubuntu-release-extras, and a whole lot of bugs fixed there too. yay!

I think that kubuntu-restricted-extras should install unace-nonfree too, to open *.ace files.

I propose too to add p7zip or p7zip-full in *buntu-desktop, to open *.7z and other compression formats by default with file-roller or ark.

kubuntu-restricted-extras does not install libk3b2-mp3 either. In my opinion, kubuntu-restricted-extras should do it.

It certainly does install libk3b2-mp3 in gutsy. Are you using the
feisty version? Recommends get installed by default in gutsy for
metapackages.

sarah@LongPointyStick:~$ apt-cache show kubuntu-restricted-extras | grep
libk3b2
Recommends: flashplugin-nonfree, sun-java6-plugin, libxine1-ffmpeg,
libdvdread3, libk3b2-mp3, liblame0, unrar, libtunepimp5-mp3

As for the rest, i'll have a look at it later :)

yeah, kubuntu-restricted-extras should install libk3b2-mp3, as this is a must-have for almost every k3b user

closed against ubuntu-restricted-extras, Fix released.

Fix released, bug not valid against this package.

latter part, although it should be a different bug, is not fixed yet. I will get to this.

I'm not going to add the .7z and .ace file support - these don't seem to be very popular file types in the linux world, and *ubuntu-restricted-extras is supposed to be a group of the most useful addons, not every single addon in multiverse.
