[gentoo-dev] unmasking USE=system-ffmpeg for stable www-client/chromium ebuilds
Currently USE=system-ffmpeg is masked for stable www-client/chromium ebuilds. However, recently a new enough media-libs/ffmpeg has been stabilized, making it possible to use system ffmpeg in stable. I'd like to make the change close to a new version of chromium being stabilized so that less rebuilds would be triggered. Here is how the dependency looks like: system-ffmpeg? ( || ( =media-video/ffmpeg-1.0:=[opus] =media-video/libav-9.5:=[opus] ) ) I know there are some controversies around ffmpeg/libav, and I wouldn't like to go into that. I prefer to ask first and have a discussion before rather than surprising people badly. Please let me know what you think about this idea (unmasking USE=system-ffmpeg for stable chromium ebuilds).

Does this still allow me to use libav? If not I'd like to veto it.

Stable is too old, be happy I fixed all those buildcrashes so we can have it in testing. If you want start some tracker to get it stable tho, i would not mind, as all my machines have it unmasked anyway. Tom

If you can start it I can try to get the stable tinderbox running over the weekend.

As already pointed out, you only need to not enable it. What you can veto is to have it enabled by default. Otherwise, vetoing doesnt make any sense if nobody is going to fix it. Alexis.
