I could do that, but as I've mentioned, providing an official formula (within a separate repository, not in the source tree!) would make it easier for end users to discover, and it would ensure that there's some authority over the build process. If we sent off users to third-party taps from unknown sources, that could lead to bad end user experience with Homebrew and FFmpeg, neither of which is wanted – think about outdated taps or potentially even malicious intent. > We already provide a build script and we believe that it works > very well, in addition a kind supporter offers osx binaries. That's all true, but not all users want to build manually (or have the technical skills to understand what's going on) and take care of a dozen dependencies. The build scripts and guides are quite straightforward but it still takes more time than just running "brew install ffmpeg". Just for context, in the last 90 days, there have been over a quarter million installs of ffmpeg through Homebrew. That's a considerable amount. Also, the binaries do not contain all third-party dependencies one might want, such as non-free software or larger libraries. I've mentioned this in my post as well. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
