 Currently debian/testing ships a very old copy of ffmpeg, dated from
 0.cvs20070307. We, the ffmpeg maintainers (Fabian Greffrath and myself)
 do not consider that version of ffmpeg acceptable for release in debian
 lenny. Many newer applications of ffmpeg (like mplayer) require a newer
 ffmpeg to build, others (like xine) are waiting for debian to update the
 ffmpeg package.

On a related note, what are the plans for ffmpeg encoding? As it is, the
current lenny package seems to have stripped away most everything, leaving
the transcoding support of VLC (among others) near-useless (try using MPEG-1
to stream low-bitrate video...).

 If there are no serious objections, I plan to upload ffmpeg mid to end
 of next week. If the release team asks me to upload sooner, no problem.

Hello Reinhard, thanks for the heads-up. However, we would really
appreciate if you could hold the upload to unstable until we find a spot
for it, possibly right after the python transition.

alpha is not doing very well atm, so we're not being able to get
transitions out the door, and adding more transitions in unstable would
probably have the net effect of delaying them all more.

Is that doable for you?

Thanks,

That's perfectly fine for me. I'll ask you on IRC again next week end. If
I am not available or you have the feeling that the package could get
into unstable sooner, feel free to upload the ffmpeg-free source package
in experimental to unstable via NMU at your convenience.
