Gnu day,

To resume, VLC 0.8.6i latest issue is ffmpeg :
https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=1924399&group_id=17203&atid=414256
ffmpeg compiled with the swscale mode disables some stuffs like 
img_resample defined now as a deprecated API . I googled patches with 
various sites like freeBSD, Debian, etc... actually it seems the patch 
is simple to re-enable them while keeping the swscale option.

About vlc 0.9.5 :
I verified, VLC is using latest librairies about nearly everything. It 
means providing a newer ffmpeg version (at least march 2008), updating 
other sounds / video stuffs...

To my point of view, to get an other nice player in Fink, I suggest 
first to add the 0.8.6i version instead of restarting from scratch any 
work for the 0.9 bundle and wait again :/
Before the next steps, if anybody has feedback about this patch, like 
"it's evil" - "you'll get troubles with other packages", please tell us 
:D Any clues / advices are welcome(d ?).  Thanks to Matthias I fixed the 
other dependencies (libtar,...) I'm rebuilding a bunch of packages 
depending from ffmpeg, libavformat, libavcodec, ... and everything seems 
fine atm

An other question: I worked with JF Mertens (thanks for the seamonkey 
fix ;) to update wxgtk to the 2.8.7 version a few months ago. I've just 
read on the site that 2.8.9 was considered as "Stable". Is this a 
primary required update regards to Fink ?

Thanks, cheers and be crazy,

Pierre-Henri
