Re: ffmpeg in devel: to bump or not to bump

Fedora has a feature freeze for a good reason and I'd say that we should have one to. But I suppose a few weeks (3 to 4) before the Fedora release in question is published should do the trick for most of out stuff. But I'm wondering if especially ffmpeg should be one of the exceptions for that "most" and have a *longer* freeze, as ffmpeg is a quite crucial package. And not only that, it sometimes takes weeks until all the maintainers got around to rebuild and/or fix their packages for changes in ffmpeg. Take for example libdlna, which sill doesn't find the ffmpeg headers in their new location and thus hasn't been build yet for RPM Fusion because nobody did the necessary steps to make it compile with current ffmpeg. (Build log for libdlna, http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/logs/fedora-development-rpmfusion_free/647-... this patches might help: http://hg.geexbox.org/libdlna/rev/3936f48815d0 http://hg.geexbox.org/libdlna/rev/4bb2327af7b8 Pointed package owner to them in private yesterday; no response yet) Just to be sure: You said "need a rebuild" and "API changes" in above para. Thus the apps that use ffmpeg not only need adjustments for the new ffmpeg but also code changes? CU knurd
