I think it's time to remove the mask on >=media-video/ffmpeg-4.0
ffmpeg 4 is in many distros (including Debian, Arch) and FreeBSD.
Upstreams are starting to require it, too. For example, Kodi 18 and
media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav-16 will require it.
The blocker issue https://bugs.gentoo.org/653678 has only 5 blockers
against it right now:
* 654628 has a pull request out to fix it:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/10341
* 655170 is for a package that (IMHO) should be last-rited:
media-libs/mediastreamer
* 666166 is for a package that (IMHO) should be last-rited:
media-plugins/vdr-image
* 655442 and 658128 are for media-video/mplayer and fixed upstream,
requiring a new snapshot release
What do we say? Can we set a date when the hard mask will be removed?
I think 6 months qualifies for ETIMEOUT, so go ahead and unmask it :)
merge the github PR; I'll take care of mplayer
Since Alexis added the mask I believe he can authorize its removal, so I
have done so:
