Thanks for the lovely ping. :)

Please, go ahead. There are some other points that we should work on, but no
showstopper (well, my private copy with FAAC and with mp4v2 *does* have
issues and is segfaulting in some ways, but I don't think that applies to
the the stripped down version in Debian).

Let's get it past the NEW queue so that we can upload some other incremental
things in further uploads, until we have something in shape.

Niv, it would be nice if you could add the DMUA flag set to yes, so that I
can upload newer versions (I am a DM).

Fabian, would you mind writing/adapting a script to strip down windows
binaries etc. from the upstream package? I could do that, but I'm quite busy
blogging :) right now. :) (not, not really). :)

Thanks,

As said, i'm happy to sponsor an upload. But wouldn't want to overstep DDs
in pkg-multimedia.

Fabian was seeming to say there are a lot there :)

I don't think that anybody in pkg-multimedia would mind you uploading
to the the NEW queue barrier done, especially now that the ftpmasters
may be more strict with approvals of new packages (is this impression
of mine really true?).

 Fabian was seeming to say there are a lot there :)

Not really sure about the lot, but I agree with everything that Fabian
has said. Well, if I don't agree, I will point those things out. :)

Most definitely not, we are a very friendly team and welcome every 
helping hand. I could not imagine Reinhard or Andres (the to others 
listed as Uploaders) would mind if you sponsored an Upload. Although 
joining the team and adding yourself to Uploaders would be 
appreciated, of course.

I guess so. We are in a freeze and I believe they have more important 
things to do.

In one of his previous mails Niv told me that handbrake would 
currently FTBFS. I am not sure why this happens, but it may be due to 
Debian's unpatched a52dec library and handbrake patch 0009 being disabled.


Apart from that, IMHO all that's needed is a rebuild of the source 
tarball. Unfortunately, I don't have the spare time right now to do 
this myself and I am not sure about integration with uscan(1).

I couldn't confirm this in my local i386 build, but we need to get rid 
of ccache and get a decent changelog entry first. ;)

Dear Niv,

thanks for your interest in handbrake and Debian.

Am 20.08.2012 08:43, schrieb Niv Sardi:

what is missing to push handbreak into Debian ?


theoretically, i.e. from a strictly technical point of view, handbrake 
could get uploaded to Debian (preferably experimental) in its current 
form (i.e. with minor modifications). The drawbacks are (1) that it is 
missing AAC audio encoding because it uses
FAAC for that, which is considered non-free and (2) that it is missing 
MP4 muxing, because it uses libmp4v2 for that which is licensed uder 
the MPL, while the rest of handbrake and its components is licensed 
under the GPL and both licenses are incompatible.


So for now it only supports lame or vorbis for audio encoding and MKV 
muxing, which would be enough to provide a working DVD ripper, but 
renders the (Apple device oriented) presets system pretty useless.

Awesome, do you need sponsoring ?

I haven't built it (it actually failed and it's 6am here), but looking
through the source I could find reference to a FFAAC codec that seemed
to use libav's (ffmpeg) implementation. That doesn't work ?

 and (2) that it is missing MP4 muxing, because it uses libmp4v2 for
 that which is licensed uder the MPL, while the rest of handbrake and
 its components is licensed under the GPL and both licenses are
 incompatible.

That is annoying, and looking at muxmp4.c, not an easy thing to fix.
is handbreak the only consumer of that library ? 

I remember http://code.google.com/p/ffmbc/ is re-licencing ffmpeg from
lgpl to gpl on the fly. It's not ultra ethical, but I don't know if it's
illegal to do this with libmp4, maybe we can talk this upstream to get
it dual-licenced lgpl ?

 So for now it only supports lame or vorbis for audio encoding and MKV 
 muxing, which would be enough to provide a working DVD ripper, but 
 renders the (Apple device oriented) presets system pretty useless.

I think it's good enough, I'd say upload to experimental, and then we

No, thank you. Handbrake will be maintained in the pkg-multimedia team 
and we already have plenty of DDs to sponsor uploads. Maybe you are 
also interested to join?



I haven't built it (it actually failed and it's 6am here), but looking
through the source I could find reference to a FFAAC codec that seemed
to use libav's (ffmpeg) implementation. That doesn't work ?


It does and you can explicitely select this codec from a dropdown menu 
if you like, but it's infamous for its suboptimal sound quality. We 
still have lame for MP3 encoded sound which would also fit into an MP4 
container.



That is annoying, and looking at muxmp4.c, not an easy thing to fix.
is handbreak the only consumer of that library ?


There was gtkpod, but it was fixed meanwhile to use another MP4 
library for the exact same reason. Spontanously, I don't know of any 
other consumer...



I remember http://code.google.com/p/ffmbc/ is re-licencing ffmpeg from
lgpl to gpl on the fly. It's not ultra ethical, but I don't know if it's
illegal to do this with libmp4, maybe we can talk this upstream to get
it dual-licenced lgpl ?


Our libav package (the same applies to our former ffmpeg package) is 
also already licensed under the GPL instead of LGPL, because it links 
against some GPL'ed libraries. We even had to bump the license version 
to 3, because we use libraries that are licensed under the MPL (mostly 
code from Android - including another AAC encoder, BTW).


I doubt that it's even possible for libmp4v2 upstream to relicense the 
code, because its originally copyrighted by the mpeg4ip project which 
has ceased in the meantime.



I think it's good enough, I'd say upload to experimental, and then we
see how we fix it.


Generally I agree, but Rogerio (CC'ed) also has a word to say about 
this. Rogerio?
