ffmpeg build coming soon, too. It brings libavcodec ABI version bump and some
API changes.
Looking forward to all of that.
But are there any ideas/plans how to make the transition to all of that
new stuff as painlessly as possible for users and contributors?
just wondering: Shall I manually exclude those packages (and packages
that are build against it) from pushing until all the major things that
depend on x264 and ffmpeg got rebuild? E.g. gstreamer-ffmpeg,
xine-lib-extras-nonfree, mplayer and vlc?
