Since the choice between ffmpeg and libav has been made more |
| 10 |
explicit, there has been a lot of discussion about what the |
| 11 |
default implementation should be. It can be concluded that |
| 12 |
media-video/ffmpeg has wider support, and would be somewhat |
| 13 |
more convenient for most end-users. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
For this reason the default implementation has been switched |
| 16 |
back from media-video/libav to media-video/ffmpeg by removing |
| 17 |
the libav useflag from the base profile. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If the libav useflag is already globally enabled or disabled |
| 20 |
in /etc/portage/make.conf, then no further action is required. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Users who implicitly relied on libav being enabled in their |
| 23 |
profile, and who wish to continue using libav, should enable |
| 24 |
this in their local /etc/portage configuration. |
