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
