Anyway I created a initial package for you to experiment with. In the current state the package compiles and installs without problems on amd64 but the import fails. I've skimmed a bit over upstream source, and it seems that not only avcodec, but also parts of liba52 and faad are included. On the first sight, all of these copy look rather ancient to me, but I may be wrong. in any case, I don't think the approach pymedia has taken is a good candidate for debian. While the project itself seems interesting, I'd strongly recommend a serious reengineering that includes using system libraries before working any further on packaging. I didn't even look at your packaging, because you have decided to only commit the debian/ directory in you svn without the upstream source. Therefore, I went to the upstream webpage and downloaded the source tarball. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To unsubscribe, send mail to 477572-unsubscr...@bugs.debian.org. ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
