21 -Title: ffmpeg/libav conflict management: USE=libav
22 -Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@g.o>
23 -Content-Type: text/plain
24 -Posted: 2015-02-01
25 -Revision: 1
26 -News-Item-Format: 1.0

30 -The support for automatic choice between ffmpeg and libav is going to be
31 -deprecated in favor of explicit choice via USE flags. This change aims
32 -to solve multiple repeating issues, including Portage undesirably
33 -wanting to replace one package with the other, lack of proper reverse
34 -dependency on ffmpeg/libav upgrades and some of the hard-to-understand
35 -upgrade failures involving blockers. It also may be used to make ffmpeg
36 -and libav co-installable in the future.
37 -
38 -The current USE=ffmpeg will maintain its role of enabling optional
39 -support for ffmpeg or a compatible implementation (libav) in a package.
40 -However, whenever appropriate additional USE=libav will be introduced to
41 -control the preference of one implementation over the other.
42 -
43 -Users who currently use libav (the Gentoo default) do not have to
44 -perform any action since USE=libav is enabled by default. It should be
45 -noted that the users still need to enable USE=ffmpeg on packages with
46 -optional libav support as well. Users who want to use ffmpeg instead
47 -need to specify USE=-libav in make.conf explicitly.
48 -
49 -Please also note that some packages support only one of the two
50 -implementations. An attempt to install one of those packages may result
51 -in blockers requiring the user changes the global USE=libav state.
52 -The most notable example of such package is media-video/mplayer.
53 -media-video/mpv may be used as a replacement for users who prefer libav.
54 -
55 -Please do not alter the state of 'libav' flag on a per-package basis
56 -(e.g. via package.use). The flag needs to be set globally to have
57 -consistent value throughout all packages. Otherwise, blockers will
58 -prevent upgrades.
