livdvdcss does not work on amd64

[Venkat Raghavan]

There are no packages libdvdcss packages for amd64

These need to built manually

[KarlGoetz (kgoetz)]

I have libdvdcss listed as supporting all 3 architecures. if it doesnt work on x86_64 does it still work on PPC? or is it x86 only?

[Venkat Raghavan (venkatraghavan)]

Packages for libdvdcss need to be built for amd64 architecture.

I think a "fakeroot apt-get -b source libdvdcss2" with the plf repository as a deb-src should build us one. No access to amd64 machine, so i can't build.

Bug has been confirmed

[KarlGoetz (kgoetz)]

I now have libdvdcss marked as
compatible: x86
incompatible: x86_64, PPC

If/when this changes let me know.

[KarlGoetz (kgoetz)]

As per the package list for both breezy and dapper i have changed the docs to say that libdvd css works on all arches. if the package lists are correct we can close this bug.

[Kyle Brooks (kyle-brooks)]

$ apt-cache show libdvdcss2
<snipped ...>
Architecture: i386
<snipped ...>

No, the package lists are not correct.

[Kyle Brooks (kyle-brooks)]

reassigned to 3.2 (temporarily rejected for 3.1)

[Kyle Brooks (kyle-brooks)]

Good for 3.2, not very important though

PLF Ubuntu now supports amd64 arch, so there is a libdvdcss package : http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/pool/dapper/amd64/free/libdvdcss2/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1plf4_amd64.deb

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

To complete what I said previously : plf provides libdvdcss2 packages for i386, amd64 and powerpc. Nobody reported a bug about these packages, so we can say they work on all arches.

So, you can perhaps mark libdvdcss as
compatible: x86, x86_64, PPC
incompatible:

If I follow the comments, this bug is no longer an issue i guess.
