Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:vlc User: [email protected] Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package vlc [ Reason ] The latest upstream removes three plugins that are no longer supported upstream [1][2][3]. No functionality is removed, as the avcodec has higher priority to handle these formats anyway. [ Impact ] We continue to include plugins in the stable release that are no longer supported that are unused. [ Tests ] None, as testing would end up using the avcodec plugin anyway. [ Risks ] The change is easy to revert in case of regressions. [ Checklist ] [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing unblock vlc/3.0.21-10 Cheers [1] https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/commit/3a817551046bee0c17e56649d11d98c71c965a07 [2] https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/commit/bfb9e2fccde667cad607c859a7887e67bf6e1b56 [3] https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/commit/af4d43cd4aa05e59d681fcf230eb1b5c41787d31 -- Sebastian Ramacher
