Title:
[libav/precise] ffmpeg/avconv contains deliberate misinformation (FUD)
Status in “libav” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
when invoking the command ffmpeg, the output reads:
---
This program is not developed anymore and is only provided for compatibility.
Use avconv instead (see Changelog for the list of incompatible changes).
---
Since ffmpeg is still being developed on (ffmpeg.org) and the devs
know this (see bug Bug #1004174 ), the above statement that the
program shows is misinformation and a deliberate and outright lie.
When it comes down to programming I can live with bugs but i can't live with
dishonesty.
politics and code do not mix very well.
therefore i consider this bug as severe.
possible solution:
change the text to:
---
This program is a fork of ffmpeg and the ffmpeg command is only provided for
compatibility. Use avconv instead (see Changelog for the list of incompatible
changes).
