Hey guys,
I wanted to upgrade ffmpeg to the latest snapshot. Two things came up:
a) Is there a reason we use date stamps for ffmpeg's version? It seems
more straightforward to use the revision number. Any problems with me
switching to that?
Seems fine to me to switch.
I chose date stamps is because I could then standardize across
different software using different version control formats, and so you
can easily tell how stale a snapshot was by looking at the pkgver.
A big upside of the revision number choice you suggest is that it's a
more precise mapping to particular source, which is compelling.
