[gentoo-dev] unmasking USE="system-ffmpeg" for stable www-client/chromium ebuilds

[gentoo-dev] unmasking USE="system-ffmpeg" for stable www-client/chromium ebuilds

Currently USE="system-ffmpeg" is masked for stable www-client/chromium
ebuilds. However, recently a new enough media-libs/ffmpeg has been
stabilized, making it possible to use system ffmpeg in stable.

I'd like to make the change close to a new version of chromium being
stabilized so that less rebuilds would be triggered.

Here is how the dependency looks like:

	system-ffmpeg? ( || (
		>=media-video/ffmpeg-1.0:=[opus]
		>=media-video/libav-9.5:=[opus]
	) )

I know there are some controversies around ffmpeg/libav, and I wouldn't
like to go into that. I prefer to ask first and have a discussion before
rather than surprising people badly.

Please let me know what you think about this idea (unmasking
USE="system-ffmpeg" for stable chromium ebuilds).

Paweł

Does this still allow me to use libav? If not I'd like to veto it.

You can still use libav - either unmask it or USE="-system-ffmpeg".

You can use testing version.
Stable is too old, be happy I fixed all those buildcrashes so we can have
it in testing.

If you want start some tracker to get it stable tho, i would not mind, as
all my machines have it unmasked anyway.

If you can start it I can try to get the stable tinderbox running over the
weekend.

libav-9 should be more or less ok for stable tinderbox-wise.
what is probably not ok is the planar audio formats and the tinderbox
wont catch that.

As already pointed out, you only need to not enable it.
What you can veto is to have it enabled by default. Otherwise, vetoing
doesnt make any sense if nobody is going to fix it.
