--- Comment #7 from Faidon Liambotis <[email protected]> 2012-05-25 13:43:24 UTC --- 1) To add a newer ffmpeg2theora we also need to add a newer ffmpeg and its libraries (libavcodec, libavutils, libpostproc etc.). ffmpeg2theora was not being used before, but as far as I can see, ffmpeg is installed into production imagescaler systems (not sure if it's actually being used though). This means that an ffmpeg/ffmpeg2theora upload to apt.wikimedia.org has a potential of breaking production, especially considering ffmpeg's record of breaking ABI and user options and if being done without prior testing (which I have no way to do). 2) The ppa has ffmpeg2theora 0.28, while precise has 0.27; TMH is reported to work with 0.27, so I think we should go with a straight backport, rather than have custom-built newer version, as to have less external packages/backports when we move to precise. 3) I'm not really sure I understand why we can't go with precise here. Our systems (puppet, apt etc.) have already been prepared for precise and precise is already being used into production on some systems. Moreover, TMH is a new feature that is not present in production, so I can't see the argument of "cloning production" for that. FFmpeg aside, shouldn't we target precise for new features anyway? It's quite possible that I'm missing things in all of the above points, please bear with me :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
