The packaging in the diff.gz is from May. Now xvid is maintained by Debian Multimedia (=pkg-multimedia) in Debian, by Fabian Greffrath. The new packaging has moved to CDBS, which I don't use nor pretend to understand, so I haven't been able to contibute to it.
You probably want more Reinhard Tartler's opinion (Siretart), since he's looking over it and also maintaining all the packages that would have to be rebuilt on the new xvidcore. He's in a better position to decide if it's worth the trouble, and if it should go fine. As for regression problems, I tested both 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 intensively in May, but that didn't help for getting it into Ubuntu anyway. Demudi's packaging isn't exactly the same as the binaries I tested (they depend on yasm now that yasm 0.8 is in Debian and Ubuntu), but hopefully should work as well. -- New upstream version available (1.2.2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306399 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
