Moreover, the reason why upstream picked it over 2.3 was that it is used by more downstream distros: OpenSUSE, SUSE Enterprise and ROSA [1]. If we let it sit in -testing for a bit longer than usual, I believe this will be enough. > > Saying that and giving up mass rebuild ffmpeg/x264 for F-20, no need > preserve devel as is and we can do the mass rebuild for ffmpeg 2.4 on > devel , anything pending ? I don't think anything has changed since last time: dvbcut and kmediafactory fail to rebuild, vlc needs a patch, everything else builds fine. David Timms was working on making dvbcut work, but I have not heard from him regarding whether he was successful. > > BTW what packages (.spec) do you have ? that are different from stable > branches to devel ? Only ffmpeg and mplayer. ffmpeg due to its numerous dependencies, and mplayer because it is highly dependent on ffmpeg. > > Thanks and best regards, > Thank you.
