http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89 Summary: Review request: avbin - Cross-platform media decoding library 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: orcanbahri(a)yahoo.com CC: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org Blocks: 2 Estimated Hours: 0.0 ----------------files-------------------------------------------- SPEC: http://6mata.com:8014/review/avbin.spec SRPM: http://6mata.com:8014/review/avbin-7-0.20081023svn.1.fc9.src.rpm ----------------%description------------------------------------- AVbin is a thin wrapper around FFmpeg, providing binary compatibility for applications and languages that need it. FFmpeg is a collection of audio and video codecs widely used in projects such as mplayer, xine, gstreamer and VLC. It is under continuous development; so much that its developers rarely provide a release, and SVN snapshots of the library must be statically linked to avoid version incompatibilities. AVbin allows programs that require dynamic linkage to use FFmpeg. It does this by providing * an accurate version number within the shared library, allowing applications to select the appropriate data structures and functions to use at runtime, and * a simplified interface with an unchanging ABI to the most common decoding functionality within FFmpeg. AVbin is distributed as a single dynamic library that depends on no other files or installations. ---------------Why rpmfusion?------------------------------------- As was said in the description, this package includes a copy of ffmpeg statically linked. Hence it should be in rpmfusion. ---------------rpmlint-------------------------------------------- [orcan@desitter SPECS]$ rpmlint ../SRPMS/avbin-7-20081023svn.1.fc9.src.rpm avbin.src:87: W: configure-without-libdir-spec 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings. This is the configure script of ffmpeg. We don't need to specify a libdir since ffmpeg will be compiled into libavbin.so later (which has a libdir). [orcan@desitter SPECS]$ rpmlint ../RPMS/x86_64/avbin-* avbin.x86_64: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/lib64/libavbin.so avbin.x86_64: E: shared-lib-without-dependency-information /usr/lib64/libavbin.so.7 I wasn't sure how to package this file. Should I put libavbin.so into the devel package (it's just a symlink to libavbin.so.7)? Also, can we ignore the error message since avbin has no apparent dependencies? ---------------note----------------------------------------------- I wanted to have this package in rpmfusion because I will also package pyglet soon and that one depends on avbin. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
