FFmpeg May Be On Its Way To Returning To Debian

[kevinf28]

git clone ffmpeg && ./configure --enable-shared && make && make install

Fixed that for you

Happy to hear this is being discussed again. I hate politics. LibAV would be and 'ok' FORK, if it wasn't done in such a sleezy way replacing proper ffmpeg.

all I was left with were conflicts and incompatibilites due to DMO packages bringing in ffmpeg as a dependency and official Debian packages that were built against libav not working with ffmpeg (and DMO not having equivalent replacements).

I'm curious what branch of Debian you were running and how long ago this was. In my experience, dmo has been packaging more and more ffmpeg/libav programs. Can you name specific ones that dmo was lacking?

That was a good year of fun.

Almost as fun when Intel forked up Xorg., ie Ubuntu 9.04/9.10

I thought about this exact same thing.

Phoronix: FFmpeg May Be On Its Way To Returning To Debian

there's many people that prefer FFmpeg to Libav with FFmpeg's continued progress,

Yep, and that's one of reasons I left the Debian/Buntu's. It created a horrendous mess for many of the av/apps too.
Well, I surely hope Debian has finally seen the light now !
When Debian and their idiotic/egotistical dev's started "forking" around with FFmpeg, and forcing their Users to use this outdated garbage called libAV, aka via avconv,..., that's when I said adios amigos

If, and when Debian decidies to finally bring back the much more progressively uptodate original "FFmpeg" then I might give them a look again, until then, Arch rules.

Then all we need is for mplayer (depending on ffmpeg) to return to Debian, and we can rejoice.

Why do we need a dead project like mplayer? mpv is vastly superior.
