To clarify from my POV: * For Karmic, we expect there to be additional ARM hardware supported by the Ubuntu release, fully supporting NEON (though this is yet to be confirmed). It will be nice if we can backport the new packages for Jaunty, but that's a secondary concern. * I don't expect that ffmpeg will have full runtime detection for ARM features in the Karmic timeframe, so we may still need multiple flavours and the glibc hwcaps mechanism for now. This could be worth investigating again; but the last time I looked, the detection was done via #ifdef.
The basic problem with (ii) is that the information provided by hwcaps is rather coarse. Mans doesn't favour hwcaps and was looking at defining a better mechanism, but it would require kernel changes and so could be time-consuming to stabilise/merge. -- Integrate and enable ARMv5TE/v6/VFP and NEON optimisations from ffmpeg trunk for armel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383240 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
