Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-02 17:47:12 UTC
Check attached build log. But really, why can't we just get the thing built inside media-video/ffmpeg in the first place?

Comment 2 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-18 19:33:27 UTC
the main reason is that it's a nice utility to have without having to install all of ffmpeg, but if you want to incorporate it I'm ok with it.
Comment 3 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-10 09:57:37 UTC
treecleaners, please remove media-video/qt-faststart, it's replaced by:

+  10 Aug 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> ffmpeg-9999.ebuild:
+  USE="qt-faststart" to replace separate media-video/qt-faststart package.

and will appear in next snapshot.
Comment 4 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-10 11:06:06 UTC
I 'd propose to mask it for removal when the next ffmpeg snapshot hits the tree. Since there is no ffmpeg on ~testing with that use flag, I don't think it is a good idea to remove this package just yet
Comment 5 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-10 11:14:56 UTC
I don't think it would make any good as it is anyway.
Comment 6 Igor Vinokurov 2010-08-25 16:09:15 UTC
Can you backport this use-flag to ffmpeg-0.6.ebuild please?
