Hi list, now that the dust following the f24 release and related infra work (thank you everyone involved) has settled, I believe we should update ffmpeg to 3.1.x in f25. While we will likely need to update once again to 3.2.x before f25 release (ffmpeg runs on 3 monthly schedule as opposed to Fedora's 6 months), updating early allows to weed out any build issues early on. I have done a test rebuild and found the following: - there are currently 40 packages dependent on ffmpeg - out of those, 37 rebuilt correctly - 3 have failed: - kodi: failure looks related to curl, not to ffmpeg - mlt: strange error, something about zval. build.log crashes gedit - xpra-codecs-freeworld: avcodec_decode_video2 is deprecated
Given the small number of failures, I would be aiming to push the new ffmpeg to rawhide and rebuild dependent packages on Saturday. Please speak up if you don't agree. Best regards, Julian
