Theres no need to polarize the discussion any further.
neither attacking anyone nor glorifying the author of a patchset
with a inprecisse statement where a correction would likely insult the author.
iam sure he is already stressed from having pushed a patchset that introduced
some issues.

We are one team, if WE have a bug in the code we should fix it or revert the
patch causing it. If a issue is trivial to fix then fixing is better. If it
is complex and one works under pressure its likely better to revert so as not
to introduce more mistakes and have a clean known to work basis ...

Thanks

The author spent weeks on fixing all the issues, updating the patch set
multiple times, and so on. In the end, he didn't get much helpful
reviews, but tons of bikeshedding that was unproductive as hell. Also
it seems he formally didn't violate any rules, because he fixed the
issues and waited long enough.

And now that some breakages occurred (which is not that surprising
since the patch changes so much), most mails on this topic are STILL
unhelpful bikeshedding.

Keeping patches in bikeshed hell while not giving good reviews (like
Michael just posting a specific command line and then saying "it broke"
while not saying anything actually helpful, or certain other devs who
came up with almost equivalent ideas how the components should be
iterated but which they have unusually strong opinions about), is a
good way to make developers leave and to make the mood of the project
worse.

Just saying.

Done. Thanks.

This most assuredly does not fix the issues introduced by the other
patches that Michael reported, so those do need to be fixed, regardless
of what's done with the API.

Seems reasonable. The author won't revert for some reason so could you go

A set of seven patches was pushed before any of them got a full review
or even an ok, which unsurprisingly introduced a plethora of issues, and
all while there were discussions going about implementing the API in a
different way by more than one developer.
I do not, under any circumstance, support this strategy of pushing
unfinished things and then argue that since it's already committed it
can't be touched. I have no idea how you or anyone could support this
kind of thing.

The entire set should be reverted if only to make it clear that this is
not how development should work, yet everyone so far, including myself,
has suggested to only revert the one non-API commit that badly broke a
lot of things, then work on top of the already introduced API to
effectively finalize it, and then fix and reapply any implementation bits.

 Perhaps cdc78058c78dfa4966758a342acd2c1f3b282c46 should be reverted
 then. If the new API may actually get changed in the coming days once

Precisely. This is code implementing API that may or may not change, so
there's no point trying to fix it if it may eventually have to be
reverted anyway if we decide to use a different API.

So revert this patch now, finalize and fix the new functions, then re
apply it in a working way if needed afterwards.

You can add that his attitude sometimes leads to worse results too
(instead of better ones, as he argues). Like the UDP EOF change, that
ended in changing the libavformat API away from POSIX-like semantics in
a way that caused tons of bugs (and some are still unfixed). Now I
don't want to insult Nicolas or make him look incompetent in any way,
but this is an attitude problem that needs to be fixed somehow. (I know
he'll feel insulted by these words anyway - nothing you can do I guess.)

+1 to this, but on the other hand this patch is just for code that
_uses_ the new API, not the API itself.

I seriously hope nobody is arguing for reverting the API as is. It
didn't please everyone, but it's good and sufficient enough, and we
were in a bikeshed stalemate.

 I dont know if this is supposed to fix the other lists
 but
 ./ffmpeg -demuxers
 still returns nonsense with this patch

 File formats:
  D. = Demuxing supported
  .E = Muxing supported
  --
   E 3dostr  3DO STR
   E 4xm 4X Technologies
 ...
 a while ago this was returned:

So you fix it now, then after discussing, we decide that we prefer to
keep the _next style of API instead of _iterate. What happens then? This
patch plus your fix will get reverted as they don't apply anymore.

So i insist, revert this patch, finalize (and fix the issues in) the
actual API, then start implementing it across the codebase.

No, I was referring to you and you alone.
You've been more insulting towards the people who do hard work and submit
patches by going out of your way to block them and saying "The burden of
proof is on you!". And by saying this you're basically not even wanting to
review anything - you'd rather be spoonfed some facts than look at the
code, figure out what it does, what it changes and seeing whether it's
doing what its meant to do or not.
If you want to be taken seriously and not be seen as someone as insulting
as you think I was here then you should provide constructive criticism, use
quotes, provide some information where you think there's an issue and
finally propose an alternative. So far you've only done "I don't like this
API and I can't be convinced otherwise!" and act surprised when your
rhetoric to revert everything was criticized. Meanwhile mfcc64 provided all
I just said and michaelni provided objective testing, so don't even compare
yourself to them.
Instead, why don't you send a patch or even a WIP of what you think ought
to be done to the API?

Do you realize that sentence accuses Michael, Muhammad and me of
pursuing a personal power trip instead of seeking the good of the

-1, I object to reverting anything.
We should fix what we have right now. The API looks good too except some
people here feel like they haven't bikeshedded enough and want to cause
even more chaos.
One bad commit and you all go screaming revert with your pitchforks instead
of trying to fix it.

-1, there's no point in reverting this and then arguing for 3 weeks with
people who will never use the API in the first place, don't understand the
problem this patchset solved and just want to see their way be the only way
things are done.
We should fix this patch, fix another one if there's any and it'll be fine.

I agree too.

And maybe, since we are reverting something, revert the whole series.

The output of this differs from before
it now lists decoders and encoders even if theres just one with matching name
to the codec
a bugfix should not introduce such a change

Perhaps cdc78058c78dfa4966758a342acd2c1f3b282c46 should be reverted
then. If the new API may actually get changed in the coming days once
some consensus is reached then there's no point trying to get this
working with things as is.

I dont know if this is supposed to fix the other lists
but
./ffmpeg -demuxers
still returns nonsense with this patch

File formats:
 D. = Demuxing supported
 .E = Muxing supported

  E 3dostr  3DO STR
  E 4xm 4X Technologies
...
a while ago this was returned:
