| Using Fedora General support for current versions. Ask questions about Fedora and it's software that do not belong in any other forum. |

KDE from RedHat Team
Once I read in this forum that the KDE that cames with FC releases are no as good as the one provided by RedHat Team. Any one knows how I can get these instead of useing the one that canes with FC?
Thanks,
Scirious.

Off-topic, but interesting: There are some community-members who want to move KDE to Fedora Extras in the future, to improve the quality. For more information see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnleashKDE

Or you can spend a day or so rebuilding everything, this will get you all the additional support that is stripped from FC builds, more builtin multimedia support being the major one

Everything within Fedora Core is provided by Red Hat. Unsure what this comment means.

Think is what was trying to state is lacking of support for certain features this is because of patent issues, for example support with mpeg libs etc, it's not compiled in by fedora because of legal issues...
Also don't think meant Red Hat but more KDE package maintaners for RH
Not sure what options are compiled in by this community. However most things in FC SRPM packages are already in the spec files for these feature, there are disabled though with a 0 value or commented out....

The Unleash KDE project would happen within Extras and so cannot include restricted items, just like Core. So no mp3 support directly from the Fedora project.
Aren't software patents terrible?

I went through all the spec files and compiled in all the stripped features in 3.5.1 for FC3, also added amr into ffmpeg as well.. Everything is great now all content is support now directly in KDE in embedded player.
And yes patents or a real problem these days, it stinks...
