medibuntu:
some packages can go in ubuntu, some obsolete, some can't be hosted as non-free, only thing we care about is libdvdcss
funman updating package
kubuntu to find out about managing gpg keys for archive
get ftp access for archive
upload
update install-css.sh for new archive
investigate easier ways of adding repo to sources.list

ScottK Mediabuntu is trying to go away, AIUI. 17:36

Medibuntu to Disappear, libdvdcss now direct from VideoLan
Submitted by Jonathan Riddell

Medibuntu the archive with libdvdcss and a number of other package which couldn't be put into the official Ubuntu archive is to disappear. Gauvain Pocentek who has been maintaining it for some time is wanting to move himself and his server on. At Blue Systems and in Kubuntu we looked over the packages in the archive and realised they were all obsolete or unnessecary because most are now in the official Ubuntu archive or have better equivalents which are. The main exception is libdvdcss which is illegal in the US so can't go in the archive. But fear not I've been working with the developers of libdvdcss at VideoLan to set up an archive directly at VideoLan. It works with either Ubuntu or Debian of pretty much any release...
