Bugzilla Bug 211509

the ebuilds for swdec say :

"[...]  if use ppc && use ffmpeg ; then
                eerror "swfdec doesn't work with latest ffmpeg version in"
                eerror "ppc arch. See bug #11841 in Freedesktop Bugzilla."
                eerror "Please disable ffmpeg flag and enable gstreamer"
                die "Depends failed"
        fi
[...]"

but bug 11841 has been closed as fixed two months ago and i can confirm that it
doesnt crash if ffmpeg USE flag is enabled. It doesnt work for me - thats
another story - but it doesnt crash as stated in the bug report.

Err, great... so it doesn't work and you want it enabled? o_O

BTW, the flag should be package.use.masked on ppc profiles instead of making
the ebuild die... uh.

Only small problem, I don't use ppc and don't have one. ppc herd, want to take
this bug?

my point is that blocking anything due to a upstream fixed bug makes no sense.
Block it for any ohter reasons you may have but not because of this.

Oh, and it doesnt work accurately _for me_ btw, i didnt want to say it works at
all on ppc. Sorry if i used the wrong words.

Sure thing, removed the die on ppc, seems to build and not crash here too.
