Description Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2014-01-14 19:13:33 UTC 
I've added the following useflags to base/use.mask and media-video/ffmpeg uses them. Please unmask the useflag on the mips profiles where they are supposed to work.

armvfp
armv5te
armv6
armv6t2

copy/paste error: on arm profiles of course :)

This is imho a broken concept and the ebuild/ffmpeg should just use what is provided by the CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS and/or ask the compile which instructions are supported. Otherwise we will end up with every possible compiler flag in the use-flags.

What difference will the ebuild or the ffmpeg-buildsystem make if armv6 or armv6t2 is defined?
