Many developers that depend upon FFmpeg have dropped support for even the newest pre-release of FFmpeg. VLC dropped support for 0.4.9-pre1 some time ago and I have been patching VLC to partially support FFmpeg 0.4.9. FFmpeg has changed so dramatically in the past year and a half that the next version of VLC won't even be worth patching to support 0.4.9. This is true with quite a few ports in the ports tree also, libquicktime needs newer FFmpeg, see the multimedia@ mailing list for complaints about plist, libxine, and more. I want to propose that we move ffmpeg-devel -> ffmpeg, it's been proven it works by a few projects listed above, and it will give our users better multimedia support with out having to spend time trying to patch ports to keep old API support. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: move ffmpeg-devel -> ffmpeg >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->lioux Responsible-Changed-By: edwin Responsible-Changed-When: Sat Dec 9 01:50:21 UTC 2006 Responsible-Changed-Why: Over to maintainer http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=106503 From: Michael Nottebrock To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, ahze@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/106503: multimedia/ffmpeg - Request using ffmpeg-devel as ffmpeg Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 00:18:54 +0200 Looking at the queue of ffmpeg PRs and lioux' obvious absence/lack of time, I think we should reset MAINTAINER for the ffmpeg ports to multimedia@, which would enable us to track ffmpeg's development much more closely. I'm especially interested to see ffmpeg up to date and available to other ports since learning that swfdec (and its plugin) can use it to decode flash videos.
