Yes, we're aware of that, but thanks for notifying us anyway.
This will be fixed upstream in FFmpeg shortly.

No, they use hwaccels differently (arguably in a better way) than VLC.

This won't delay the transition to the next FFmpeg version, which
by the way will probably be called 3.0.

On the other hand there are still many packages in the archive
incompatible with the new FFmpeg version [1], despite patches being
available since three months. That might delay the transition.
(Though I intend to file removal bugs for some of those unmaintained
leaf packages.)

Best regards,
Andreas

upcoming ffmpeg transition

2016-01-26 Thread Andrey Gursky
Hi,

recently I noticed a warning from vlc developers regarding the upcoming
FFmpeg 2.9 release [1]. Are you already aware of it? I'm wondering,
whether mplayer and mpv are also affected. Could this delay the
transition to FFmpeg 2.9 until the issue will be resolved or it is
already done?

Regards,
Andrey

I've filed the bugs now (except for taoframework). [1]

 I'll file bug reports for the affected packages with:
 User: pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
 Usertags: ffmpeg2.9

Thanks for the offer. Considering the number of affected packages, NMUs will 
likely
be necessary.

Best regards,
Andreas

Ugh. Feel free to ping me for NMUs if packages are not updated in time
for the transition.

Yes, the only exception is, as always, taoframework with its hardcoded SONAMEs.

I'll do it that way.

How did you come up with those numbers? Did you actually make a patch for each??

Do the required changes work already? IOW, if a patch is applied can
it build with ffmpeg 2.8?

I'd use severity: important. When the release gets done, then the
severity is bumped to serious.

upcoming ffmpeg transition

2015-11-01 Thread Andreas Cadhalpun
Hi,

ffmpeg upstream removed some deprecated APIs, so the next release will require
a transition. A large number of reverse dependencies need source code patches.
Most of those are simple changes like renaming functions/macros, but some are
more complex:

building:   30
simple changes: 61
complex changes:21
--
total: 112

I'll file bug reports for the affected packages with:
User: pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: ffmpeg2.9

Additionally, there are five unrelated FTBFS bugs among the affected packages:
bino:  #802374
gazebo:#797809
mrpt:  #803700
ovito: #803701
pjproject: #793094

It would be good if most of this was fixed, when the next ffmpeg
version gets released.

Best regards,
Andreas
