[arch-general] ffmpeg and libav

[Andrea Crotti]

I am not part of the libav team, but I know many developers and I 
followed the story
of the fork.
I then also noticed that my beloved arch is still using ffmpeg and libav 
is not even in
the official repository (but only in AUR).

Is there a reason for that?

  There are quite a few good reasons to switch over and many already did:
   - debian unstable 
(http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2011-December/023070.html) 

   - vlc 
(http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2011-August/081317.html)
   - gstreamer (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26497)

(And I'm quite sure also gentoo and Ubuntu but I don't find a link).
