I've got a problem with xine-lib crying for ffmpeg>=20080715. I have ffmpeg-svn installed and this fullfilled the requirement. But even if I write something like presents=('ffmpeg' 'ffmpeg>=20081031') into my PKGBUILD the error occure again and again. A dynamic Date as mentioned in the comments of ffmpeg-svn (something like date +%Y%m%d would be nice).
Thank you Raubkopierer
Hello, The correct field is "provides", not "presents". However, the real issue is in ffmpeg-svn's PKGBUILD: provides=('ffmpeg=`date +%Y%m%d`') should be: provides=("ffmpeg=`date +%Y%m%d`") [or even better: provides=("ffmpeg=$(date +%Y%m%d)")] because command substitution does not occur between single quotes. I left a comment on ffmpeg-svn's page regarding this.
