They are using a completely different patchset than we do. First, I'd
like to understand what patches WE are shipping and why, then look why
marillat ships an nearly unpatched ffmpeg and THEN compare with the
gentoo patchset. Then I'd like to talk with lu_zero. This is of course a
lot of work, and I definitely will need help with that, e.g. by looking
at the patches and adding an explanatory header discribing what the
patch actually does as if it was an submission for upstream.
Help on that would be more than welcome!
No problem, but you need to tell me in detail what steps you did to
obtain the tarball which is currently found in
http://people.debian.org/~siretart/tarballs/.
Oh, I did this (out from memory, untested):
svn export -r{20080206} \
svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk \
ffmpeg.20080206
# libswscale is just an unversioned redirect, so we have to export it
# properly by hand
rm -rf ffmpeg.20080206/libswscale
svn export -r{20080206} \
svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/libswscale \
ffmpeg.20080206/libswscale
cd ffmpeg.20080206/ \
svn co
svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-multimedia/experimental/ffmpeg.20080206/debian
\
sh debian/strip.sh
The last step is of course for the disabling of the encoders. A proper
get-orig-source would of course offer an option to skip this step.
And used the directory ffmpeg.2070206

Package: ffmpeg Severity: important I did a first shot at updating the ffmpeg source to version 20080206. The result can be seen at svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-multimedia/experimental/ffmpeg.20080206/debian I merily refreshed the quilt patches to the new upstream and introduced a new binary package libavdevice. The resulting source package at least doesn't FTBFS on my laptop, so please don't use that for anything serious. I have published the corresponding tarbal at http://people.debian.org/~siretart/tarballs/ for your convenience. a buildlog is attached. What's needed now: - SONAME bump. libavdevice was split of libavformat, so applications definitly need to be reviewed if they need to link against libavformat, libavdevice or both. - There seem to be many problems WRT using PIC in the shared library code. This need revising - There are too many patches in debian/patches. They need revising, documenting and submission upstream. With both issue, I don't really see myself in a position to do that. I therefore kindly ask someone else to help me with that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
