I've updated vlc today, which pulled in freerdp as a dependency. Is that
normal? Why would a media player require a remote desktop application
client?
box0=; equery -C depends --indirect net-misc/freerdp-1.1.0_beta1
* These packages depend on net-misc/freerdp-1.1.0_beta1:
media-video/vlc-2.0.9 (net-misc/freerdp:0)
Thanks.

Read /usr/portage/media-video/vlc/ChangeLog then "eix-sync" and try again.

Sorry if I got ahead of portage. I've been talking with the maintainer and
freedrp should not be a RDEPEND of vlc. He's working on it.

Understood.
Thanks very much for following it up.
In a way I'm glad freerdp got pulled in. The mouse pointer seems to work
better for me in freerdp than it does in rdesktop.

I've been using teamviewer and it informed me yesterday that I appear to be
using it for commercial use; so I'm now looking for some FOSS to replace it.

Funny enough, that was the very reason I switched from rdesktop to
freerdp a couple of years ago; I wrote a patch for rdesktop to fix
cursors in Windows 2008, but it got ignored. Then I somehow stumbled
on freerdp, where it had already been fixed.
