[opensuse-kde] ffmpeg in KDE:Extra is too old
Hi, Packman has updated ffmpeg to 2.5.4, which means packages in KDE:Extra build against ffmpeg are no longer working with packman's version. It needs an update. I would do the work, but I can't really figure out how to do it. Can someone do an update here?

An easy solution is to link to multimedia:libs/ffmpeg. It's build there without the patented stuff. What do you think? Regarding legal concerns: it seems that the libav variant got through legal review, if I read it correctly (request 264370).

It has been taken from https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:RedDwarf:fakePackman before. -- Best regards, Dmitriy DA(P).DarkneSS Perlow @ Linux x64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

I know and I have already looked into that, but can't find a way to update it to a newer version. And the project seems to be abandoned. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

The ffmpeg devs will always advise you to build from source, anyway, to ensure that you have the latest security (and other) fixes and updates. It moves pretty quickly and packaged versions don't always keep pace with development (it very much depends on the packager). Nevertheless, I get it that not everyone likes to do that. I wrote a (rough) shell script to get the latest version from git, configure and built it, but it's specific to my needs and has little or no error-checking in it, so it's definitely not fit for public consumption, but just to point out that the process does not have to be difficult. -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
