Bug 240446 – media-libs/x264-0.0.20081006 breaks many packages

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description gfl3162+gbugzilla 2008-10-08 04:01:53 UTC]

media-libs/x264-0.0.20081006 seems to have a different api than earlier version. This version goes from libx264.so.60 to 65, and these programs do not compile with it:

media-libs/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326
media-video/avidemux-2.4.3

The new version of x264 also breaks media-video/vlc-0.9.3.

On a separate note, sorry for the bug spam above, apparently one DB cluster nodes spontaneously rebooted.

This bug report should probably be turned into a tracker.

is this merged upstream?

vlc is already fine and ffmpeg will be once we'll have a new snapshot

[Comment 8 Alexis Ballier 2008-10-08 14:43:52 UTC]

still needs to be checked:
media-gfx/blender
media-tv/mythtv
media-video/mpeg4ip

(others from http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/media-libs/x264 should be fine, at least in ~arch)

Yes, a fix has been added to the 2.4 branch.

[Comment 10 gfl3162+gbugzilla 2008-10-09 00:10:49 UTC]

ffmpeg from svn works with this version of x264, but many packages that use ffmpeg don't compile anymore.

and that will be one more reason for you not to unmask something with a hostile mask such as:
# Alexis Ballier <[e-mail]> (07 Oct 2008)
# Big api changes; If you report a bug, please also give a patch from upstream
# to backport or that will waste everyone's time.
# These will stay masked until any consumer of the library has been fixed.

I'll attach the actual upstream changes as they are a bit different.
