Bug 211509 – media-libs/swfdec - ffmpeg block for ppc arch not needed anymore ?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description gringo 2008-02-26 11:17:45 UTC]

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.
