What is the need of newer ABI ? is it because of ffmpeg built within
mythtv ? or mythtv code that dropped older x264 API ?
Hi, x264 don't have a new ABI , just a soname bump , which will leads to
dependency problems with yum
I understand that mythtv has a Network protocol that would requires
several component to be at the same version. But why users are just
upgrading to the new mythtv in F-17 instead ?
This will also lead to a
problem when EL-6 mythtv built will miss one or another dependency ?
When to stop the updates there ?
On EL-6 we have x264 updated as in F-17 and if we have it on EL-6 why
not on F16 ?
According to the update policy, several points would make this
update
not acceptable for stable update.

Since is not a ABI change , maybe we clear a few points.
As side note , we will not need bootstrap build of x264 because ffmpeg
ABI, doesn't change.
