Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've been directed here from the bugzilla: |
| 4 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410585 |
| 5 |
I will copy my bug report from there, so no need to click :) |

Currently there are two different flags which pull the same |
| 8 |
library (media-libs/libvpx) for the same purpose. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
vpx : Enables vp8 codec support using libvpx, required to play some |
| 11 |
HTML5 videos |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
webm: Use system media-libs/libvpx for HTML5 WebM video |
| 14 |
support. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Generally webm is somewhat wider term than vp8 (see e.g. here: |
| 17 |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebM), but in all ebuilds I have checked |
| 18 |
webm USE flag just pulls the vp8 implementation library - libvpx. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I am not 100% sure, but to me it seems like webm and vpx USE flags |
| 21 |
should be unified. |
