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 at 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 at 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.
