Preparing an update for FFMpeg/x264 in Rawhide today

[Nicolas Chauvet]

Hi,

Along with an update of vlc-2.0-rc1, I would like to make an FFmpeg to
current 0.9.1 version and renew x264.


There shouldn't have ffmpeg ABI change beyond relying on newer x264
(ABI libx264.so.120).
As usual with any ffmpeg update, I will kick a rebuild of MPlayer.

Also as we expect a mass rebuild I will kick a rebuild of several
multimedia packages
I will commit the x264/FFmpeg update ASAP and target a rebuild
probably later this evening.

Then, packages relying on FFmpeg will have to be rebuilt (as part of
the mass rebuilt), I will handle the rebuilt by the end of the week if
not done already.

I would have appreciated that someone else raise it's hand to make the
FFmpeg update, but this didn't happened.

Talking about FFmpeg, I have an EL6 candidate that I plan to commit
ASAP. it will be based on 0.6 with the expectation to allow a parallel
installation of a newer FFmpeg at a later step. (using
ffmpeg/ffmpeg-compat).

Thx
