Description Greg Peele 2003-06-24 12:59:27 UTC

EBML is a new library primarily being developed for the Matroska video container
format, but will probably have other uses in the future.  It is the "Extensible
Binary Meta-Language," and works on the same principles as XML, but is more
appropriate for non-text files, (again, Matroska video is the primary example).

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Greg Peele 2003-06-24 13:07:40 UTC

libebml expects the user to be in a locale with a UTF-8 charset defined, or else any program using it will error and exit.  For example, if my locale is en_US, then en_US.UTF-8 must be defined and available (it is not, by default).  The Matroska devel is considering removing this requirement in future releases, though.

Comment 3 Greg Peele 2003-06-24 13:24:47 UTC

My apologies, I didn't see the original libebml-0.4.2 ebuild until after I committed this one.  This ebuild is required for the newer versions of libmatroska and mkvtoolnix.

libebml-0.4.4 has been added to portage.  Please test. :)

libebml 0.5.0

New release of libebml. More than just a version change (new download location,
package unpacks differently, small bug in prior ebuild fixed).	Works fine on
my portage overlay.
