Actually Anton is referring to the opposite case (runtime > compile), which is pretty common for all distributions. If you were to do that, distributions would likely feel like kicking libav out for good. Speaking with my distro hat on. So I'm in favour of Anton's choice, ABI stability _is_ necessary and very welcome. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes [email protected] — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ _______________________________________________ libav-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-devel
