Fedora 22: flac Security Update
Summary
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly oversimplified, FLAC
is similar to Ogg Vorbis, but lossless. The FLAC project consists of
the stream format, reference encoders and decoders in library form,
flac, a command-line program to encode and decode FLAC files, metaflac,
a command-line metadata editor for FLAC files and input plugins for
various music players.
This package contains the command-line tools and documentation.
Update Information:
Update flac to fix security issue in xmms-flac plugin (previously an independent subpackage that was out of date).
