... and since we are committing silently without any real discussion I |
| 14 |
will switch the dep order again and announce it much later without |
| 15 |
leaving room for discussion :) |

More seriously: Why ? Who decided this ? |
| 18 |
Let's be realistic, both upstreams claim they're better than the other |
| 19 |
in one way or another, and let's think like serious downstreams, not |
| 20 |
like upstream playground. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
As a downstream, I can see plenty of reasons against, but none in favor |
| 23 |
of this change: |
| 24 |
- There are still a couple of non-trivial packages that need to be |
| 25 |
fixed to work with libav while I don't know any that works with libav |
| 26 |
but not ffmpeg. |
| 27 |
- All (but the one discovered in Nov. 2012) of the security issues |
| 28 |
fixed by libav 0.8.5, released on Jan. 13 2013 were fixed in May 2012 |
| 29 |
(!!) for ffmpeg according to the website... 8 months before... |
