** Summary changed: - Please sync with upstream release of ffmpeg .5 + FFE: ffmpeg 0.5
** Description changed: + * A description of the proposed changes, with sufficient detail to + estimate their potential impact on the distribution + + Currently, jaunty ships a snapshot of ffmpeg dated from 20090204. This + update would bring us to the latest release of ffmpeg. In fact, this + updates the snapshot to ~20090303. + + * A rationale for the exception, explaining the benefit of the + change + + gst-ffmpeg already includes that release, having the two in sync lowers + the risk of causing crashers caused by a version skew + + * Any additional information which would be helpful in considering + the decision + + debian/unstable already ships the 0.5 release in unstable. It is very + likely that we can keep the ffmpeg packages in sync for a longer time, + which results in more testing of the codebase and easier maintenance. + + Testpackages and rebuilds of reverse dependencies can be found in + siretart's PPA (for intrepid only ATM, sorry). So far, no regressions + have been spotted. + + original report follows: + Binary package hint: ffmpeg ffmpeg releases quite rarely, though they aim to keep a stable source trunk. Ubuntu uses an svn snapshot from february 4th. ffmpeg released version .5 today with significant stabilizations.
