This change aims -to solve multiple repeating issues, including Portage undesirably -wanting to replace one package with the other, lack of proper reverse -dependency on ffmpeg/libav upgrades and some of the hard-to-understand -upgrade failures involving blockers. It also may be used to make ffmpeg -and libav co-installable in the future. - -The current USE=ffmpeg will maintain its role of enabling optional -support for ffmpeg or a compatible implementation (libav) in a package. -However, whenever appropriate additional USE=libav will be introduced to -control the preference of one implementation over the other. - -Users who currently use libav need to enable USE=libav in -/etc/portage/make.conf. It should be noted that users still need to -enable USE=ffmpeg on packages with optional libav support as well. -Users who currently use ffmpeg need to take no action. - -Please also note that some packages support only one of the two -implementations. An attempt to install one of those packages may result -in blockers requiring the user changes the global USE=libav state. - -Please do not alter the state of 'libav' flag on a per-package basis -(e.g. via package.use). The flag needs to be set globally to have -consistent value throughout all packages. Otherwise, blockers will -prevent upgrades.
