I fixed the broken service in mmlibs and then collapsed into bed at 06:30 in the morning. I knew that libquicktime didn't build with the 
new ffmpeg but I wanted a failed build in multimedia:libs as part of my attempts to get to the bottom of the instability in some of 
Packman's packages, I'll fix it again. I wondered why "%{bcond_without} was used in combination with "%if !%{without" instead of the 
inverse which would achieve the same thing and be more logical. "%{BUILD_ORIG}" is doesn't build the original sources if undefined but I 
think it needs a "?". I am looking for a macro that changes value when the package is built on the Packman servers to be able to have one 
spec file for both the crippled openSUSE and uncrippled Packman packages. The idea is to use "BUILD_ORIG" undefined if in openSUSE and 
defined as 1 in Packman. Have a look at the gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad in Packman home:davepl, I've put the macros that display things like 
vendor into the prep section, the %_vendor tag comes up as "suse" in both build services unfortunately, if there aren't any  atm maybe we 
can add a tag that does this. The object of the exercise is to save the effort of updating two packages and especially where the libraries 
are concerned, keeping everything in sync.

The libquicktime package in Packman needs an "osc linkpac --force" to repair the link which I can't do.
