             Bug #: 2857
           Summary: Review request: xine-lib 1.2 - A multimedia engine
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Package Reviews
           Version: Current
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: GNU/Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Review Request
        AssignedTo: rpmfusion-package-review at rpmfusion.org

xine-lib is currently stuck at branch 1.1 in Fedora. The current main branch is
1.2, and 1.1 will likely be deprecated by upstream in the not too distant
future, and will not receive updates, including security ones, hence it would
be wise to move to the 1.2 branch for Fedora 20.

Currently, xine-lib is in Fedora, with all the possibly patent encumbered bits
split into xine-lib-extras-freeworld in RPM Fusion. However, with xine-lib 1.2
such a split is now longer possible, because ffmpeg is now needed to build
xine-lib. According to current xine-lib maintainer there are 4 possible ways
forward:
(a) Stick with 1.1.x forever.
(b) Package libavutil (and only libavutil) from FFmpeg in Fedora.
(c) Bundle parts or all of libavutil with xine-lib.
(d) Move the whole thing (back) to RPM Fusion (where it originally was, before
xine-lib was needed for Amarok and Phonon, which both no longer use it).

This package review is for solution d. It merges Fedora's xine-lib spec with
RPM Fusion's xine-lib-extras-freeworld. Hopefully, I got everything right, but
the changes are big enough it worth having it fully reviewed.
