Hi Rogério, I am currently doing some cleanup among WNPP bugs, and this one strikes me as between useless and harmful.
Harmful, since adding ffmpeg additionally to libav to the archive would create a great mess with the ffmpeg/libav libraries. The only way to prevent endless discussions would be if you close this RFP and instead send a bug to the Debian Technical Committee [1] for a technical decision whether jessie should ship with libav or ffmpeg. You could provide a link to a summary of the history of the ffmpeg/libav split in case any of the Technical Committee members doesn't know about it - it might not be relevant for the technical decision whether libav or ffmpeg is a better choice for jessie, but it explains why a neutral third party is needed for a decision. Describe in detail why you think ffmpeg would be a better choice for jessie than libav. Invite the multimedia maintainers to describe in that bug why libav would be a better choice for jessie than ffmpeg. The Technical Committee then has the power to make a binding decision. No matter which way the decision goes, it would be better to have a decision that settles the issue for the near future than endless discussions. cu Adrian [1] http://www.debian.org/devel/tech-ctte [2] http://deb-multimedia.org/dists/unstable/main/binary-amd64/package/ffmpeg -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
