Hello Xavier,
Hi Nicolas,
Vlc has gained support for libbluray with Rawhide/F-17 so I'm
fine with
having it updated ASAP.
But I expect that can wait for the new snapshot.
The updated libbluray is in Rawhide, feel free to build at your
convenience. It'll be great to have yet another media player with bluray
support.
For older Fedora releases I'm more doubtful, is there really new
features introduced?
Can't we consider bluray users in need for a new version to move to f16?
Actually this is a bit of a special case. I've been using handmade git
snapshot until now, and this is the first upstream release. As such I
think it would be easier for everyone to use what upstream provides us.
I know this is somewhat against the rule to bump soname during a release
lifetime, but I feel it worths it.
As I'm writing this, I'm wondering how does one request aa buildroot
override in RPM Fusion ? This will be needed to have a seamless
transition in F16 and F15.
Regards,
Xavier
