Subject: [gentoo-dev] The state of libav stabilisation
Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2018 12:38:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1676562.WTpo3CGDgJ@tuxbrain> (raw)

Is there anyone still working on libav support? It appears to me that 
transition[1] and stabilisation[2] trackers are stuck for a long time without 
activity. Missing libav-12 stabilisation means that in several stable 
packages, USE=libav is already inaccessible without manual unmasking of the 
use flag. I am not prepared to start reverting upstream commits for <libav-12 
support[3].

If this is not going to change, maybe media-video/libav should be dropped to 
~arch. This is still better than dropping support per-package or plastering 
package.use.stable.mask with libav entries.
