After looking through the source code, it appears that the as-needed patch was incorporated into this release. Also, the tracknumber patch used with the previous version is probably not necessary anymore as the faac team changed the problematic code to use another scanf parameter that doesn't consider numbers starting with 0 as octal.
I forgot to mention that the automake process failed for me on the upstream package due to some EOL problems with configure.in as it has both CR and LF. Changing all EOL to LF only and repackaging solved the problem.
Created attachment 100433 [details] faac-1.25.ebuild The ebuild is almost a direct bump of the previous version except it doesn't contain the epatch lines.
Created attachment 102537 [details] ebuild for faac 1.2.5 that fixes aclocal problems The configure.in in the toplevel directory is saved with CRLF linebreaks, which somehow doesn't work with my aclocal. Added a recode for this.
Created attachment 102552 [details, diff] Re-enable support for external libmp4v2 If libmp4v2 is installed, support for mp4 is completely lost in faac 1.25. This patch changes a bit of the automake/autoconf input to re-enable it.
Created attachment 102553 [details] Updated ebuild for faac 1.25 This ebuild applies the mp4 re-enable patch, and fixes a CRLF conversion problem that stops aclocal to parse the configure.in.
the ebuild for 1.25 by christian works for me and faac won't "freeze" any more :o)
Did anybody check if the license is still GPL or they changed it like for faad?
Created attachment 109394 [details] faac-1.25 with recode deps I've incldued app-text/recode in deps since it is not present in default stage3
The license is still LGPL-2. I added stephan's ebuild to the berkano overlay (see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-508174.html ).
thanks for the ebuilds and patches, guys. committed to cvs
