    Description : installer script for Widevine on arm64 systems

    This package provides an installer for Widevine, Google's proprietary
    digital rights management (DRM) library, on arm64 systems. Widevine
    is used by media platforms like Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.
    to reproduce copyrighted content on browsers and other applications.
    This package only supports the Firefox and Chromium browsers.
    .
    After installing this package, you must run the widevine-installer
    script as root. The script will download the library from ChromeOS' repositories, unpack it, patch it (if necessary) and install it
    together with the relevant configuration files.
    .
    Note that some media platforms require you to change your browser's
    User-Agent to reproduce content with Widevine.
    .
    Widevine is not free software. Its usage is subject to terms and
    conditions. Please refer to https://widevine.com/ and to your
    media platform's Terms of Service for more information.


    This package will be maintained in the contrib area of the archive
    under the Bananas Team umbrella. It does not contain non-free software
    per se, but it installs a script whose sole purpose is installing
    Google's Widevine library, which is proprietary and non free.
