Description David Kredba 2014-01-01 20:00:40 UTC

Could you please think about to make app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs use/depend on latest current stable ffmpeg package?

Ffmpeg 0.10 is a "little" outdated.

For compatibility with old binaries it should be kept in a tree of course.

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

yes; we should probably remove that dep from the ebuild and use the emul-linux version; when I multilibed 0.10 this was the version bundled in emul-linux but now the bundled version is better than 0.10 so this makes little sense

unfortunately we cannot (yet) convert ffmpeg because it has deps that are not multilib-ready

I don't know if that's what you mean - ffmpeg-1.2.5 has multilib use flags. So basically, it could just be bumped to that version, right? For me emul-linux-x86-medialibs is the only package that still depends on 0.10.

I'm sorry but how is wine relevant here? I don't see any dep on ffmpeg there.

Comment 4 David Kredba 2014-05-29 11:19:59 UTC

It is the gphoto2 use flag (maybe more?) requiring app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs.

So you mean indirect dependency of wine then?

Comment 6 David Kredba 2014-05-29 11:30:44 UTC

Yes, I do. It is noted in a subject of this report and in its tree too.
Wine I noted because of it is the only one ABI_X86=32 package important for me.

Well, there's a nitpick here. wine[gstreamer] requires gstreamer:0.10 which uses ffmpeg:0.10 :).

On another note, I'll probably unmask new emul-linux packages today and those should let you keep wine working without emul-linux at all :). Assuming USE=-gstreamer.

Comment 8 Eugene Shalygin 2014-06-13 13:07:40 UTC

Could you can also make media-libs/libpostproc dependency optional, please? It conflicts with media-libs/ffmpeg:0.

The emul-linux-x86 packages have been removed.
