It may be easier to read configure.ac first, if it is provided. > the flag "--disable-ffmpeg_a" does work for disabling the bundled ffmpeg; the > first time I built it I hadn't added the flag, and the build time was ~40 > minutes instead of ~4. I think I just had poor/ambiguous phrasing in my email. No, I think I understood you correctly. But what we also try to do is not only remove the _use_ of bundled copies, but also the bundled copies them- selves (there is an example in the qt package recipe). This is a bit of an additional security; if the flags change, for instance, we are sure nevertheless to not compile the bundled software accidentally. Here it seems to simply be the ffmpeg subdirectory at the top level. I have no doubt that the package is better than before (except for maybe the libdvd* issue). But now we realise there is a problem with bundling and potential solutions, why not make it even better :-) Andreas
