Which distros include gnome-mplayer

I'm starting to notice that gnome-mplayer is starting to get picked up
by a few distros and packaging places. So I'd kinda like to get an idea
of what is providing it.
Here is what I think I know, please correct and update
ZenWalk - Default Player except DVD and named G-Mplayer
Zonbu - Default Player except DVD and named Media Player
Fedora - Available from Livna
Ubuntu - Available from Universe?
Linux Mint (Ubuntu with stuff)
Pardus - Default Player?
Mandriva - Available from ?
I'm sure there are some of I have missed.
Thanks,
Kevin

Universe repo. I actually sent the motu list today a request to have
regular x264, mplayer and gnome-mplayer builds be available in
backports rather than the dependency hassles of users compiling their
own.

The session-handling - DBUS based - launcher script is named "G-Mplayer", because Gnome-Mplayer has nothing to do with Gnome, and Zenwalk uses XFCE as default desktop. A pity that what I consider the best media player has such a name...

JP,
I guess if I were you, I'd just name it ZenPlayer and be done with it...
quite simple to do.
Sorry that I stuck with such a boring name, but when I first started
building it, I had a lot of dependencies on gnome, not so much anymore.
GtkPlayer is probably more correct these days. But that is just as
boring so I decided not to change it. ;)
Thanks for the info however.
Kevin

Nope, it is available from Multiverse.

Hopefully Debian once 0.6.3 is released.

ACK, Pardus 2008 (which is about to be released) has. Unfortunately since
Pardus main branch is KDE based, we are not using as default player in main
branch. We just modify the OnlyIn and Categories in desktop file.

to the gnome desktop only?

No there is not... really the desktop file can be seen as a guideline.
Distros can feel free to do whatever they want to that file.

Of course we can, but (at least in my opinion) its always worth having fixes
upstream than keep them distro-bound.
If there is no reason to keep it that way, could you please considering to
change it upstream? The attached patch would certainly do and would help all
distros that are not strictly gnome based (without affecting those which
are).
Thanks,
Cesare
