One thought I have at the moment is adding a new configure flag for -Werror active only for whitelisted configurations. Existing packagers won't be affected (unless they go and explicitly enable it), while we can set up fate clients that exercise such an option. That way, any developer can check out fate.ffmpeg.org to see if they have introduced any new (hopefully useful due to the whitelist it should be useful). If people find them too noisy and find it slowing down development, we can treat them as a "different level of error" and color code it differently on the fate website. Anyway, this is looking too far ahead since we are not at such a stage on any platform at the moment. Detailed discussion right now is perhaps not productive. > _______________________________________________ > ffmpeg-devel mailing list > ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org > http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
