Exactly. This was discussed to death, and unless there are actual technical objections to the patch (e.g. breaks something or does something else it shouldn't) I'll push the patch in a few days after the release has been tagged, with James' suggestions. Also the plan is to move all programs to a separate repository leaving all the libraries into one repo. So this is about the best chance of a chance at starting this good practice as any. So technically if you improve it not to use public APIs it won't get removed - just eventually relocated. But definitely removed from the main repo. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
