[packman] Re: xvidcap rpm

[Marian Hello]

ok, there is a new reply on my post to the sourceforge xvidcap forum.

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1578318&forum_id=278401

Now it works. But a packamn package for the rest of the world would be nice
:-)

Best wishes,
Marian

BTW: As you recommend I had also sent this to
packman at links2linux.de.<packman at links2linux.de> Sorry
for bothering you both, especially now, when I realized that they better
