VLC on versiontracker?

[Tim Anderson]

There's a link to their webpage on Version-Tracker. Here's what they say
about VLC:

<http://www.giga-services.net/index.php?loc=macosx>

Our contribution to the public

*MacOS X Applications & Tools

VideoLAN client  version 0.3.1 (CVS BUILD 20020512)

A player capable of playing all know video formats (including DivX
(3,4,5,5.01) OpenDIVX, DVD, VCD, SVCD, MPEG files, etc...)
The only thing special about this is that it`s a cvs build with the latest
fixes and features. And it is easy for everyone to install.
If you want to build it yourself or are curious about this project
go check it out @ (http://www.videolan.org)

Latest Fixes
20020512
* fixes to get it work on MacOSX 10.2 DP1 (wwdc release)
* installer is without the admin password now

It seems that they're taking the latest version from CVS and building the
Apple installer around it and releasing it. I downloaded it from their
website, but didn't install. I opened up the package file, and it's just the
VLC app pre-compiled and the installer places it in the Applications folder.
Why they think this is a contribution, I don't know. They just seem to be
trying to take credit for making the CVS builds available without the need
to compile anything.

Here's their contact info from the webpage:

That said, I think it's great that you're getting exposure on
Version-Tracker, but I think the developer info should point to videolan.org
and not giga-services.net.
