--- Begin Message ---Package: ffmpeg Version: 0.cvs20070307-6 Severity: important #439897 notwithstanding, version 0.cvs20070307-6 of the package added a debian/strip.sh script to disable MPEG2 encoding capabilities. It might not yet be disabled in all scenarios, but it has been disabled in an important capability, making it useless to a large class of users in a specific locale. Precisely, encoding on the fly as a stream output has been broken from the point of view of vlc, which breaks freeplayer. See bugs #440216, #440508. Yet, apart from this excerpt from the changelog.Debian: * Add debian/strip.sh to strip ffmpeg upstream source disabling mpeg based encoders as discussed with ftp-master at debconf7 there appears to be zero information about the rationale for this removal in /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg, not even patents.txt. Please state the rationale for this removal, in a less terse way.
