- lucideer 6y agoEDIT: my first comment was from memory and I googled to double-check. Seems I was wrong and they're actually stability ratings. Ignore below --- the suffixes are related to codec licencing afaik For example, foss purists might like to install `-good` whereas those who prefer all video sources to "just work" will also want `-ugly`
- izacus 6y agoThis mirrors some other Debian/Ubuntu package names where: - "Good" plugins/codecs are ones that are freely distributable, FOSS and well maintained. - "Bad" are ones that are not up to par quality wise (messy code, no code reviews, no documentation, ugly hacks, etc.) - "Ugly" are the ones that might not be legally distributable in some world countries due to patents or licenses.
