Hi there,
According to schedule, the f37 is in the 4th of October:
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-37/f-37-key-tasks.html
There is a need to sort out which "feature" we want to have in our GA
repository, basically:
- Package that need to be removed (Leigh has removed some)
- Adapt comps
- others ? (please state).
On my side I want to rework the ffmpeg package to get back to normal
(so conflicts with fedora will be restored) and only drop a libavcodec
freeworld replacement in an additional dedicated sub-package (with
ldconfig override) to complement the fedora counterpart.
It means the best of two worlds:
- Having our ffmpeg build to be fully autonomous.
Do not require small pieces of fedora ffmpeg, and don't wait for
counterpart updates, which have been "dramatic" in the past, specially
with chromium.
- It will also provide a means to complement the fedora ffmpeg-free
one from the same package (and to not require a dedicated build,
maintenance).
Of course, I persist in the statement from Common_Bugs
https://rpmfusion.org/CommonBugs#FFmpeg-free%20conflicts
So I don't want to be involved in bugs that would occur in the
fedora/original/counterpart/complement packaging myself.
But I'm open to review/ease anyone willing to maintain this solution.
This also opens the discussion for a mesa-freeworld solution. As I
have provided various hints to do so in different places (like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2123998 ).
Beyond that I hope Fedora 37 will be a good release!
