Bug#559712: new ffmpeg snapshot would add support for important codecs (e.g. wmapro)

 Hello,

 Attached is a patch (lacking only a changelog entry and a line in 
 debian/patch/series) that backports wma and wmapro support from an 
 early January ffmpeg snapshot to the ffmpeg in sid (wma and wmapro are 
 intertwined, so it was easier just to update both together).

Thanks for your work. Can you please state the exact revision that you
have used? I'd like to check the changes you did compared to upstream.

Also, do you intend to keep this backport updated?

 Should I set libasound2-dev [!kfreebsd-amd64 !kfreebsd-i386] instead
 of libasound2-dev [linux-any]?

That's what I do for jackd:

Bug#534504: [patch] ifupdown integration of mediatomb

2010-01-24 Thread Eric Lavarde
Package: mediatomb
Followup-For: Bug #534504

Hello,

to solve the problem described by other persons, I've created two small
scripts that start and stop mediatomb when the interfaces are being
brought up and down. There is also a diff file for
/etc/default/mediatomb that adds a variable DELAYED (yes/no) to
disable/enable those small scripts.

Few remarks:

1. the current default is DELAYED=yes, which enables the script. It
doesn't really hurt as mediatomb is restarted, and should work in all
situations (with and withou NetworkManager).

2. I'm not sure I correctly understood the meaning of the INTERFACE
variable (mine is empty), so my check might be incorrect as I only restart/stop
if the interface given by INTERFACE is being stopped/started
($IFACE = $INTERFACE). Someone with more knowledge of mediatomb's internas
might want to check if this is the right decision.

3. if INTERFACE=lo, then the scripts do something if and only if the 'lo'
interface is brought up or down, again, it might not be the right logic.

4. the attached tar file contains the files and diff with correct
relative position (don't unpack in root direcotry unless it's what you want
to do!).

Hope this helps,
Eric

Re: [ffmpeg] debian/confflags for libopencore-amr*

On So, Jan 24, 2010 at 12:44:31 (CET), Lionel Le Folgoc wrote:

 Hi,

 As discussed briefly with Reinhard Tartler on #ubuntu-motu, here is a
 proposed patch to add auto-detection of libopencore-amr{n,w}b into
 debian/confflags, and pass the corresponding licensing option
 (--enable-version3), in the same manner as --enable-nonfree.

 I've tested it against ffmpeg-extra in lucid[0], and it seems to work as
 expected (resulting libavcodec debs are linked to the extra libs). It
 probably needs some polishing as I've only tested a 'tainted' build
 (with faac  opencore-amr), not a 'normal' one.

thanks for your work on it. I guess this is also a request for having
this patch as is in lucid/multiverse. In this case, I think the patch
can be a bit simplified. Moreover, I think debian/copyright needs to be
amended to state clearly that the libavcodec.so library in that package
is explicitly and only redistributed under the terms of GPLv3. I *guess*
that this might be acceptable and practicable for ubuntu as well, as we
offer a GPLv2 licensed alternative in main.

Do you want to improve your patch?

 we can still publish the package on alioth or somewhere.
 
  Still, how often do we want to update such a snapshot package?  and
  who is volunteering to keep it up to date?
 
   I think how often as we like / see fit.  Sometimes gcc-snapshot
   doesn't get updated for a while, but when testing of an upstream fix
   is desired, a new one is just pushed for testing.
 
 Thinking further on that, I agree that regular updates in experimental
 are not really necessary. Instead I'm imaginging a cronjob that runs in
 a svn checkout with the debian/ directory for experimental mounted in it
 and uploads updated snapshots to a PPA for ubuntu.
 
 Manual uploads to experimental would only be necessary if packaging
 changes like soname bumps or similar occur in svn.
 
 Since I don't see major drawbacks in this approach, I think I'll work on
 such a package next and probably discuss this with the ffmpeg folks at
 FOSDEM.
 

I'll volunteer to help if you wish. I could do regular uploads of the package 
depending on what interval you wanted. Of course I'll leave the initial 
packaging setup up to you.

The difference is that the current packages track the '0.5' branch. The
new packages no longer do this, but track 'trunk'. The change in the
versioning scheme reflects this fact.

I'm going to discuss this versioning scheme with upstream at FOSDEM.

Re: dropping -gui flavor from mplayer package

2010-01-24 Thread fabrice
Hi,

Reinhard Tartler escribió:
 the mplayer package. Currently the situation is this:

  - mplayer-nogui ships a copy of mplayer that does not depend on X11 and
related libraries. It is the commongly used variant of mplayer

  - mplayer contains mplayer-gui, which is known to cause many problems
that are known to upstream but they are not interested in fixing
them. Have a look at the upstream archives and the bugs filed in
launchpad against this

  - the 'mplayer' package ships a .desktop file with mime-type
associations, which makes people use mplayer-gui from filemanagers
like nautilus and become the impression that mplayer-gui was actually
supposed to work.

  - there are various other really great 3rd party frontends for mplayer,
smplayer seems to be most popular, but there are also others like
kmplayer that work much better than the original mplayer-gui variant.

 fabrice_sp and I discussed the possibility of dropping the mplayer-gui
 variant and ship non-X11 version of mplayer only. If nobody objects, I
 intend to merge the mplayer-nogui into the mplayer package, and provide
 the nongui variant only. The next upload will probably close a large
 amount of bugs in launchpad then.

 If someone thinks that this was a bad idea, now would be a great time to
 speak up!
 I am against dropping gmplayer (the gui for mplayer). 

Why keeping a package that upstream is not maintaining?

 I guess the 'normal' upgrade path would remove gmplayer by default and
 have users explicitly install the package, right?

IMHO, the upgrade should keep some gui installed: so perhaps we should
have a recommends, or suggest, on smplayer in mplayer package, so the
upgrade path would be:
- mplayer - smplayer
- mplayer-nogui - mplayer ? Not sure it's a good idea to actually have
the same package name with different content, and a strange upgrade path


I think we should avoid I don't have a mplayer gui anymore bug reports.

My 2 cents,

Fabrice
