I second that it would definitely be useful to have the option for a free and a nonfree ffmpeg (as the nonfree version is required for a lot of use cases).
I'm not debian packaging expert, but wouldn't the way to do this be to have two packages: ffmpeg-free: replaces ffmpeg, conflicts ffmpeg-nonfree, provides ffmpeg ffmpeg-nonfree: conflicts ffmpeg-free, provides ffmpeg So that existing packages don't need to have their dependencies updated (unless they need to be marked as explicitly requiring the nonfree features)? Would something like this work? -- Rename ffmpeg to ffmpeg-free https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184391 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
