[arch-dev-public] We need to rebuild ffmpeg, mplayer and x264
Hi guys, There was a major change in x264's API and FFmpeg and Mplayer were adapted the new changes. We need to updated them and get it working with the new changes. I already rebuilt x264 and mplayer to the latest versions, but we need to do the same with ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10-ugly. Is this a problem? -- Hugo

The latest x264 and ffmpeg have both soname bump. You'll need to rebuild probably all packages that (make/opt)depends on them. For x264 , there's about a dozen. For ffmpeg, it depends which ones of ffmpeg library got the soname bump. Some packages only have the ffmpeg depends but also depends on x264. You are definitely missing quite a few. Setup a todo list and don't rush.

If you send me a list of the old libs that have a so name bump I can generate a list of possible rebuild candidates. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
I added a new ToDo on devsite with the rebuild list for x64 and ffmpeg. I picked all packages according to our website. Probably there are some other packages that need to be added. I will check this. If someone find a new package that needs to be rebuilt, please, don't forget to add to the list. -- Hugo

What ffmpeg library has the soname bump? Depending on the library, some package that depends on ffmpeg might not need to be rebuild. As he mentionned earlier, Pierre has a script to check for that (I think it checks the packages in the repos directly). BTW, you shouldn't trust the website too much for this rebuild as several packages have plugins that depends on ffmpeg/x264. As they are make/optdepends, they don't appear on the website. Usually I prefer running find in my abs tree. Eric

Ping Hugo. Do you have a list of the libraries with a soname bump for these two packages? We can then update the rebuild list to prevent unnecessary rebuilds and add needed ones. Allan

I got an email about ffmpeg a while back. Would someone mind adding tools/cws2fws to the build as well? It's easy enough to copy the way one of the tools/ is already built
