Yes, there is! The ffmpeg-free source package in experimental now ships a get-orig-source target, which respects the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS variable. If you set that to 'risky' it will skip the 'stripping' part, and creates you a perfectly clean tarball without any disabled encoders. Moreover, if you build the source package with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS set to 'risky', it will enable additional codecs. Too bad that ftpmaster doesn't consider such a tarball acceptable for non-free. If someone is willing to maintain, host and distribute such packages, please contact me privately. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
