Title: Warning message from ffmpeg program needs update Status in the libav multimedia framework: Fix Released Status in “libav” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libav” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: The warning message from the ffmpeg program needs to be updated. It should instead say "*** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***\n" "This program is only provided for compatibility " "and will be removed in a future release. Please " "use avconv instead.\n" This is patched in Debian. See [1]. [Impact] - Users are seeing a different message everytime they run the ffmpeg program. The original message is causing confusion amongst general users of the ffmpeg who are not aware that the ffmpeg program provided in Ubuntu is the ffmpeg program originally made available from the Libav project. [Development Fix] - Message just needs to be updated. See [1]. Note that the ffmpeg binary has been dropped completely in the development tree in libav. [Stable Fix] - See [1]. [Test Case] - Just run the ffmpeg program. Running 'ffmpeg -L' is sufficient to see the warning. The original warning reads, "This program is not developed anymore and is only " "provided for compatibility. Use avconv instead " "(see Changelog for the list of incompatible changes).\n" The new warning should read, "*** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***\n" "This program is only provided for compatibility " "and will be removed in a future release. Please " "use avconv instead.\n" [Regression Potential] - There's no potential regression. 1. http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg- multimedia/libav.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/04-ffmpeg-warning- change.patch;h=0472d450a743ff0b3918c80e91da16d4c4b35d2b;hb=HEAD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libav/+bug/939863/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
