Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2011-02-15 10:08:11 UTC
mumble currently uses the system celt library instead of the bundled one.

While it is usually a very good idea to use system libraries, in this case it's probably not. celt is still under heavy development and is not bitstream-frozen, meaning every version changes the file format. So a user using most current celt library will likely not be able to use mumble to communicate with anyone else.

This will hopefully be soon resolved by a bitstream-frozen celt 1.0 (as soon as mumble adopts that), but at the moment it's probably better to stick with the bundled.

Thanks Hanno, I've committed your suggested changes for mumble-1.2.3 which bundles two different celt codecs, one for compatibility reasons with older mumble-1.2.2 clients, so this fix is really needed. Thanks again!

This breaks the emerge of Mumble 1.2.3.  See bug 355781.
