To respond quickly to this point, I'm not sure what merging libplacebo would improve to the status quo. As far as I can tell, it would only make my life harder, at least if you expect me to start caring about patches sent to the mailing list (as opposed to using PR/MRs as I do currently). I'm not sure what the goal would be, either, except dragging more code into FFmpeg. Code that can easily live outside it, because the degree of interoperation between the two is minimal. All relevant distros already package both libplacebo and FFmpeg, so the "ease of distribution" ship has sailed. It would also make libplacebo releases now tied to FFmpeg releases, which is an obvious downgrade for my own reverse dependents and a significant downgrade to my current release process. The FFmpeg ABI policy also seems wholly incompatible with the libplacebo ABI policy. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
