Bug 770220 – rockchip-mpp ARM64 Media Process Platform (New Package)

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Viacheslav Gagara 2021-02-12 16:05:00 UTC]

Hi,

Please find attached rockchip-mpp-9999.ebuild which provides hardware codecs for Rockchip based aarch64 boards (similar to raspberrypi-userland for RPi)

https://github.com/rockchip-linux/mpp

Having it available in the portage will allow adding `rkmpp` flag in ffmpeg where it is actually used.

I suggest media-libs/rockchip-mpp name.

Reproducible: Always

Thank you for your contribution. I had a short look on the ebuild. 
Here a few ideas:

• Please test the ebuild with repoman full -d -x https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Repoman and pkgcheck scan --net

• chances to get the package in the tree are higher, if we have a package for specific version numbers, not just a live (9999) ebuild
• KEYWORDS must be empty for 9999
• A bot can look for additional mistakes, if you upload a PR via github

Thanks. I'm working on issues reported by repoman. Meanwhile a couple of questions:
1. What is the best/recommended approach for submitting new ebuild? I was following this guide https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Submitting_ebuilds but maybe it is better to create PR directly to https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo?
2. Whom should I reference in metadata.xml as maintainer?
