May I ask what are we waiting for with rawhide? I have done a local
rebuilt, found fixes for 2 out of 4 failing packages and rebuilt ffmpeg.
This is how we have always done it in the past and it has always worked.
Looking at the buildsys.rpmfusion.org, Nicolas has attempted to rebuild
the dependencies, and some have failed:
- vlc needs the patch I linked to
- ffmpegthumbs needs vlc to be built first
- mlt needs vlc to be built first
- xbmc was already taken care of
- audacious-plugins-freeworld and acoustid-fingerprinter seem to be a
buildsys issue

Looks like we are almost there. The two remaining packages have not been
touched by upstream in ages and maybe we should reconsider whether it is
worth carrying them.

Best regards,
Julian
