[arch-dev-public] ffmpeg and an x264 upgrade
Hey guys, I wanted to upgrade ffmpeg to the latest snapshot. Two things came up: a) Is there a reason we use date stamps for ffmpeg's version? It seems more straightforward to use the revision number. Any problems with me switching to that? b) The newest ffmpeg requires the newest x264 which has an soname bump, but avidemux doesn't compile. Anyone here willing to patch that, or should I hold off on the upgrade for now?

Seems fine to me to switch. I chose date stamps is because I could then standardize across different software using different version control formats, and so you can easily tell how stale a snapshot was by looking at the pkgver. A big upside of the revision number choice you suggest is that it's a more precise mapping to particular source, which is compelling. - P

As avidemux's maintainer, I guess I could look into it. Send me the updated PKGBUILDs for ffmpeg and x264 (or x86_64 packages if you have them). -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I hope avidemux is all of it. I didn't fully try to rebuild everything because I ran into that one. I will send the PKGBUILDs to the list later tonight
What's the status here? I want to "fix" this: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11344 -- Hugo

Sorry, I've been tied up with real life... haven't had time to finish things that need finishing. I will get to all this tomorrow during the day (I'm working from home). Cheers, Aaron

Didn't we do an x264 update a while ago that was long and drawn out? I believe Paul headed it up. Jason

Yeah, but these packages were orphaned - I assumed Paul didn't want to maintain them anymore... Paul, do you? I can give them back if you want

You can take them. The x264/ffmpeg combo was mostly trouble for me. I mostly had them back from when I had mythtv-- but I don't really use all these things anymore. - P
