since you started this discussion by effectively preventing FFmpeg
from being uploaded, I take it that you ending this discussion now
means FFmpeg can be uploaded and you prefer to "be working with the
release team to sort this out for jessie", after FFmpeg has reached
testing.
No, it means I don't have the time, nor nerve to discuss this. We're
after all busy to keep Debian secure and sick of maintainers who only
focus on their pet package and neglegt the overall maintainability
of the Debian archive.
While I always stated that I'm open to discussion, you just ended the
discussion after trying to block FFmpeg from entering Debian, which I do
not find very constructive.
Whether you believe it or not, my pet project is called Debian and I
want to see the best possible software in it. You may have noticed that
a lot of people are unhappy with the current situation of only having libav.
I tried to package FFmpeg in a way that has the smallest possible impact
on the current Debian archive, i.e. as coinstallable with libav.
The security team made it abundantly clear that we will only support
either solution. If you go ahead with the ITP we'll file an RC bug
against ffmpeg to prevent it's transition to testing. You can then
sort out how/whether ffmpeg should _replace_ libav, but both are not
an option.
You can do however you like, but so can everyone else.
I want to see FFmpeg in Debian and I'm interested in any constructive
discussion about problems that might bring for others. If you don't have
time for such a discussion that is a pity.
Best regards,
Andreas
