I am not part of the libav team, but I know many developers and I
followed the story
of the fork.
I then also noticed that my beloved arch is still using ffmpeg and libav
is not even in
the official repository (but only in AUR).
Is there a reason for that?
There are quite a few good reasons to switch over and many already did:
- debian unstable
(http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2011-December/023070.html)
- vlc
(http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2011-August/081317.html)
- gstreamer (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26497)
(And I'm quite sure also gentoo and Ubuntu but I don't find a link).
