Hi, I am doing the proposed modifications, thanks for the idea. 1. I grouped all libpt-snapshot-plugins-* packages into one package, libpt-snapshot-plugins. 2. Does opal, which is a library, depend on libspeex, or ekiga? 3. For opal, I see the following video codecs: libopal-snapshot/usr/lib/ptlib-snapshot/opal-3.3.0/codecs/video: total 776 -rw-r--r-- 1 dedu 344240 May 17 22:16 h261-vic_video_pwplugin.so -rw-r--r-- 1 dedu 107144 May 17 22:16 h263-1998_video_pwplugin.so -rw-r--r-- 1 dedu 63000 May 17 22:16 h263-ffmpeg_video_pwplugin.so -rw-r--r-- 1 dedu 79352 May 17 22:16 h264_video_pwplugin.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 dedu 40168 May 17 22:16 h264_video_pwplugin_helper -rw-r--r-- 1 dedu 81624 May 17 22:16 mpeg4-ffmpeg_video_pwplugin.so -rw-r--r-- 1 dedu 65088 May 17 22:16 theora_video_pwplugin.so Should both h263-1998 and h263-ffmpeg be put in the opal-h263 package? What's the difference between them? Is there one better than another, and the other can be removed? Also, is the h264_video_pwplugin_helper file useful or is a packaging error? Finally, is it possible to compile h264 only? If yes, what is the ./configure or ./autogen.sh command line? I will look myself too, but if you already know the answer, please tell me. -- Eugen _______________________________________________ Ekiga-devel-list mailing list Ekiga-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-devel-list
