I have just reviewed this package. It contains a lot of patent encumbered code.
Well ... would it be possible to build a package that would allow users to build gap themselves with relative ease if they wanted the codecs included?
I mean, the editing features are very key .... even for simple GIF and motion JPG animations... motion JPG sounds like it would be a very powerful tool, anyway, as I use animations to help people build websites.
You'd be better off asking someone like Pascal (Guru) or one of the other community repository members...

I xposted this to the opensuse list since it probably will get more attention there.
I already did a successful build of patent-free gimp-gap. I had to disable mjpeg as well, as this code is deeply in ffmpeg and it would take a lot of time to include its support there. I'll submit it to Factory (after 11.0) and to some OBS repository, where gimp resides. However I did not care about configuring of extra features of bundled ffmpeg. It is an old version (2005) and I would expect problems when you will try to enable optional features. Porting to new ffmpeg would be problematic as well, as ffmpeg changed its API several times. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
