Package: ffmpeg Severity: important I did a first shot at updating the ffmpeg source to version 20080206. The result can be seen at svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-multimedia/experimental/ffmpeg.20080206/debian
I merily refreshed the quilt patches to the new upstream and introduced a new binary package libavdevice. The resulting source package at least doesn't FTBFS on my laptop, so please don't use that for anything serious. I have published the corresponding tarbal at http://people.debian.org/~siretart/tarballs/ for your convenience. a buildlog is attached. What's needed now: - SONAME bump. libavdevice was split of libavformat, so applications definitly need to be reviewed if they need to link against libavformat, libavdevice or both. - There seem to be many problems WRT using PIC in the shared library code. This need revising - There are too many patches in debian/patches. They need revising, documenting and submission upstream. With both issue, I don't really see myself in a position to do that. I therefore kindly ask someone else to help me with that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
