Such a packet currently doesn't exist. All that is available is available
from the website, there is nothing more. You could pay someone to create
better and more documentation, however how much time do you have ? :)
I trust that if there is anyone on this mailinglist who is interested in
such a thing he will contact you personally.

Since vlc is both a server and a client, it's the only thing required,<br>
depending if he doesn't need vls's features.<br>
<br>
The situation with vlc on Windows is now very nice - one click and you
have<br>
vlc installed and running beautifully.<br>
<br>
It would be very nice to have a static version of vlc for all the
Unix-like<br>
platforms. Yeah, disk space wasted, but one click, and it's installed.<br>
I haven't tried the RPM's in a while, but they used to fail miserably
for<br>
me. Some of the dependencies were not always trivial to compile as<br>
well, though most were.<br>
<br>
In short, it would be useful to have self-contained versions for each<br>
supported platform, docs included as well. (vlc has a Web server<br>
included, why not html docs as part of it :)<br>
<br>
Regarding the original request, does he really need BeOS and other odd
versions?<br>
What is he really trying to do? VLC can do a number of things, but<br>
it probably requires a management system/approach to be useful.<br>
(If the users were comfortable figuring out the insides, he probably
wouldn't<br>
be making this request to begin with, though it might be completely a
time<br>
issue)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
