I've made attempts to contact upstream multiple times (IRC, forums, 
bugtracker) and none have worked so at this point I've given up on trying to 
get in touch with the avidemux developers.

It looks like they're not going to release plugins individually so I've 
closed the plugins package review, but if some very popular plugins are 
released from a 3rd party or if a plugins tarball is released upstream then 
I'll reopen the bug for a review.

Anyways, avidemux 2.5 still fails to build properly on ppc and I don't have 
any knowledge of how altivec works (nor a PPC machine to test on)... Full 
build logs are here [1], but this is the error causing all the problems 
since 2.4.4:
/builddir/build/BUILD/avidemux_2.5.0/avidemux/ADM_libraries/ADM_libmpeg2enc/altivec/build_sub22_mests.c:540: 
error: incompatible types when assigning to type '__vector unsigned int' 
from type '__vector __bool int'

Would somebody be able to help create a patch? I'm going to ExcludeArch ppc* 
in the mean time since 2.4.4 packages are *really* broken and 2.5 has worked 
a bit better from my tests on F11.

Thanks,
Stewart
