+Title: Time to remove unofficial debian-multimedia repository from your sources
+Date: 2013-06-14 00:12
+Tags: repository, multimedia
+Slug: multimedia
+Author: Debian Publicity Team
+Status: draft
+
+The *unofficial* third party repository Debian Multimedia
+stopped using the domain debian-multimedia.org some months ago.
+The domain expired and it is *now registered again by someone
+unknow to Debian*. (If we're wrong on this point, please send
+us an email so we can take over the domain! ;))
+
+This means that **the repository is no longer safe to use, and
+you should remove the related entries from your sources.list
+file**.
+
+After all, the need of an external repository for multimedia
+related packages has been greatly reduced with the release of
+Wheezy, [which features many new and updated codecs and
+multimedia players](http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/amd64/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html#multimedia).
+
+Not sure if you're using the debian-multimedia repository?
+You can easily check it by running:
+<code>grep debian-multimedia.org /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
+</code>
+
+If you see debian-multimedia line in the output, you should
+remove all the lines including it.
