I just realized why media-video/rav1e doesn't get pulled into the dep graph on this rather minimal ffmpeg use flags: USE="rav1e" emerge-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu -pv ffmpeg * IMPORTANT: 5 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'. * Use eselect news read to view new items.

debug (disabled): does very little beside override users' -g*, albeit if want nasm debug symbols will need to set X86ASMFLAGS. - encode (enabled): debated keeping it for disabling encoders without their own USE for bit of size/build time reduction despite no dependencies, but feel it is not really worth it as it complicates the ebuild and can break expectations for a lot of revdeps (many likely lack the [encode] that they need) -- removal also handles bug #770439 - fftools_* (disabled): almost no distros install these, many have rather generic names, we were missing installing new ones, upstream ffmpeg does not even have an install target for them, and a global USE_EXPAND for this feels wasteful (*could* consider adding a all-in-one IUSE=tools if some are wanted by users anyway but let us try without and see if anyone complains) - glslang (disabled): redundant with USE=shaderc and is a pain to use directly given glslang often breaks things, esp. worse for packages with a slow release cycle and old LTS versions like ffmpeg (bug #918989, bug #920283, bug #922333, bug #922433) -- upstream also seems to favour shaderc: "libshaderc and libglslang are mutually exclusive, if in doubt, disable libglslang" (from ./configure) - harcoded-tables (disabled): off by default upstream and listed as a "experts only" option that seemingly provide little gains for a notable size increase, do not believe it is worth exposing as a USE - iconv (enabled): virtual/libiconv is essentially free anywhere but prefix and disabling iconv can be rather broken for a few things - network (enabled): no dependencies, fairly small, and many revdeps likely expect it to be enabled and just missing the [network] (tempting to do the same with USE=postproc but it would still be conditional through USE=gpl and be more confusing, and then forcing GPL also has its own issues) - oss (auto): does not have a dedicated option and just checks linux-headers and is very small, hardly anyone need this but that argument could be applied to a *ton* of in/outdevs, filters, de/encoders, and such and we would never see the end of it - pic (enabled): makes little sense not to enable nowadays and handles bug #903754 + bug #916067 -- USE had the secondary effect of disabling x86-32 asm which still doing given it is difficult to support either way due to textrels and >=binutils-2.41's enforcing (bug #916067, bug #920808), and it is possibly broken for older hardware (bug #733556) -- as a minor bonus, this should also let LTO work with abi_x86_32 (bug #654118) - static-libs (disabled): cannot think of much of a use for this esp. given how massive these libraries are and it would still require to link with all its shared-only dependencies - test (irrelevant): tests are not gone but there is no dependencies (bc and wget are not needed) nor REQUIRED_USE to handle anymore, thus USE is useless - threads (auto): no real sense in disabling (bug #868471), and leaving it auto let ffmpeg figure out the right implementation to use which in most cases means default --enable-pthreads - cpu_flags_* + cpudetection (enabled): tentatively anyway, just let ffmpeg do its thing normally -- simplifies the ebuild a lot, "should" fix bug #915384, and also handles whatever ebuild was doing wrong wrt bug #752507 + bug #778035 (one minor "issue" however is that all these flags being removed will leave users confused as to what happened, if reading this and worried about optimizations.. then no they are *not* disabled, and it is fine for other machines thanks to detection at runtime) * New IUSE: - openmpt: requested in bug #921313 - npp: requested in bug #695210 -- note have not tested the arm64 (sbsa) support, but it should work in theory as cuda toolkit does install npp prebuilt arm64 libraries - rabbitmq: trivial, may as well add support (meant to add more but others did not fare as well and will leave for later rather than during big changes, kept some minor notes in the ebuild about things still not supported) * Renamed IUSE: - mp3->lame: this is only for encoding but it made it "sound" needed for decoding (not the only case like this but this one felt too generic), may surprise those that had it actually enabled for encoding - libxml2->xml and libdrm->drm: given newly enabling these by default (see below), it's a good occasion to rename to the more commonly used USE without causing issues - libv4l->v4l: to be precise IUSE=v4l was removed and it gained the meaning that IUSE=libv4l had -- old v4l is always enabled (if linux) due to the hard dependency on linux-headers (see below) -- given the old REQUIRED_USE with libv4l? ( v4l ), all users of libv4l will have the new USE enabled already - libdvdnav+libdvdread->dvd(combined): similar to mpv, simpler for users when they just want dvds to work than worry about each library (dvd support is new in ffmpeg-7, so this only ever been masked) * Enable a few extra IUSE by default that, while not everyone needs, are useful and have dependencies that many users will already have. - libass,truetype,fontconfig: for proper text/subtitles drawing (kdenlive also wants [libass]), albeit video players tend to have their own handling (that pull the same depdencies) - drm: used in various pieces of code and little reason to disable when mesa depends on libdrm either way - xml: needed for DASH-type streams, notably used by youtube, and about everyone has libxml2 (one downside of new defaults is MULTILIB_USEDEP, users that only selectively enable abi_x86_32 rather than globally may be faced with conflicts when updating) * Always depend on linux-headers if linux, not *required* (except for v4l) but this prevents a lot of automagic and going through alternate code paths if missing (also go with >=6 which is needed for v4l2m2m and I believe also USE=soc for v4l2request) * Add missing vulkan-headers dependency wrt bug #865201, and also opencl-headers wrt bug #941506 (not 100% sure that this is what happened for the latter, but given binhost is setup it is likely). * Bump nv-codec-headers min req to 12.1.14.0, while not *required* it spares us for setting up ranges and 11.x is due for cleanup. * Add missing x11-base/xorg-proto wrt bug #934196 -- technically was longer an issue given libX11 RDEPENDs on it "now", but would still rather keep these for now. * Depend on >=librsvg-2.52 wrt bug #918613, USE=svg is not essential for arches without rust and upstream bug been went 1.5 years without activity. * Update REQUIRED_USE a bit, cuda does not *need* nvenc (just get one filter in less), libplacebo does nothing without sdl(ffplay) or vulkan, and few others like these (likely still missing some). * Drop musl HAVE_POSIX_IOCTL workaround, this is automatically set by ./configure since ffmpeg-7.1. However, note that there is another related issue with libv4l (not v4l) that is not fixed (bug #911499). * No longer ignore ffmpeg-spec-disposition test, fixed in 7.1.1. * Fix verify-sig paths on prefix wrt bug #947253 (untested) * No longer pass e.g. --disable-indev=alsa when already doing --disable-alsa, ./configure seem to figure this out just fine. * No longer pass --cpu, this expects the -march=<exact> reported by the compiler or probes compiler with =native if =host), however it does not account for -mno-* both passed or implied by =native and could enable things it shouldn't. Furthermore, it adds -march=<exact> after the users' -march=native (which is more correct, can enable or disable additional features). This option only seem like trouble and likely does not get tested much. Removing also handles bug #830165 albeit ffmpeg-chromium is still affected. * Replace EXTRA_FFMPEG_CONF by EXTRA_ECONF, while it is not using econf nor autoconf, the latter is more widely known while the former needs users to look at the ebuild -- also die if old variable is set so users know about this change. * Skip installing doc/*.txt, that seems mostly oriented at ffmpeg devs, and feels noisy in the docdir, but do keep doc/APIChanges * Replace all *GPL* by the + version given ./configure always output with "or later" when listing the final license. * Maybe not best way to go about this, but when doing incompatible --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree, on top of the RESTRICT="bindist" also add "all-rights-reserved" so a typical freedom ACCEPT_LICENSE can block it. * Rearrange chromium patch a bit to need less ebuild logic, and make it unused for ffmpeg-compat. * Drop EGIT_MIN_CLONE_TYPE, shallow clones seem fine now? If not, could consider just using the official github mirror by default. List of closed bugs may not be complete, plans are to recheck still-open bugs after this is merged.
