Subject: notes on vlc-0.7.1 and related (libpostproc, ffmpeg, mplayer) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
On recommendation from Aron Griffis, I am posting a summary of some vlc |
| 9 |
related work that I have done since it applies to several bugs. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I submitted a vlc-0.7.1 ebuild to bug 37639. |
| 12 |
To support this I also submitted 3 new ebuilds: |
| 13 |
- libpostproc-20020222, bug 43639 |
| 14 |
- mplayer-1.0_pre3-r1, bug 43640 |
| 15 |
- ffmpeg-0.4.8.20040222, bug 43641 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Here is some rational: |
| 18 |
- vlc needs a newer version of ffmpeg than currently in the tree so I |
| 19 |
made a snapshot based ebuild for ffmpeg. The snapshot is the same as |
| 20 |
the one linked on vlc's page for download to support 0.7.1. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
- libpostproc is currently provided by mplayer, however, vlc shouldn't |
| 23 |
depend on mplayer and in fact the canonical source for libpostproc is |
| 24 |
ffmpeg. So I created a seperate libpostproc ebuild (I found precedent |
| 25 |
in some rpm based distros) from the same snapshot of ffmpeg as above. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
- I created mplayer-1.0_pre3-r1 which no longer installs libpostproc as |
| 28 |
a side-effect in order to not collide with libpostproc. libpostproc |
| 29 |
checks to make sure that a "colliding" version of mplayer isn't |
| 30 |
installed. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Other possibly related bugs: 42326, 12999, 27051, 35814, 39773. |
