[Bug 2857] New: Review request: xine-lib 1.2 - A multimedia engine

https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2857 Bug #: 2857 Summary: Review request: xine-lib 1.2 - A multimedia engine Classification: Unclassified Product: Package Reviews Version: Current Platform: All OS/Version: GNU/Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: Review Request AssignedTo: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org ReportedBy: xavier(a)bachelot.org CC: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org xine-lib is currently stuck at branch 1.1 in Fedora. The current main branch is 1.2, and 1.1 will likely be deprecated by upstream in the not too distant future, and will not receive updates, including security ones, hence it would be wise to move to the 1.2 branch for Fedora 20. Currently, xine-lib is in Fedora, with all the possibly patent encumbered bits split into xine-lib-extras-freeworld in RPM Fusion. However, with xine-lib 1.2 such a split is now longer possible, because ffmpeg is now needed to build xine-lib. According to current xine-lib maintainer there are 4 possible ways forward: (a) Stick with 1.1.x forever. (b) Package libavutil (and only libavutil) from FFmpeg in Fedora. (c) Bundle parts or all of libavutil with xine-lib. (d) Move the whole thing (back) to RPM Fusion (where it originally was, before xine-lib was needed for Amarok and Phonon, which both no longer use it). This package review is for solution d. It merges Fedora's xine-lib spec with RPM Fusion's xine-lib-extras-freeworld. Hopefully, I got everything right, but the changes are big enough it worth having it fully reviewed.
