For packagers who are "consumers" of ffmpeg, what will the process be ?
1. Dom commits ffmpeg and builds for -testing
We don't have "testing" for devel branch, do we? Anyway, the builds
are done.
2. once it appears (Dominik could announce), other
"consumer"
packagers grab Dominik's patches for their own packages, and build
locally.
3. if successful, send patch upstream
Well, I did all my builds in mock against offcial repos and my local
repo with the new ffmpeg and x264. But of course you're welcome to
verify that I haven't missed anything. Also, the patches I prepared
are quite minimal and may not be appropriate for direct inclusion
upstream.
4. commit patch, and request build
5. else request help on the list if necessary.
Am I understanding this correctly ?
Yes. That's the plan, more or less.
Regards,
Dominik
