[Mageia-dev] Faac and building upon faac

Tue Sep 20 11:32:47 CEST 2011

Hi !
+Since sunday september 18th faac is provided in tainted repos for 
+mageia1 and cauldron.... after some controversy
+
+https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1730
+
+Mplayer (for the mencoder part)
+Libquicktime
+VLC
+Gstreamer-plugins-bad
+Mythtv
+had been imported and built in core... and in tainted repo with some 
+specific building potentially infringing patents
+
+but BR faac option was not validated for them because faac was not 
+present in the repo !
+
+Now the situation has changed :
+Handbrake bundles faac and could be built with this BR
+
+Now that faac is present  mythtv has been built with BR faac
+
+
+4 packages may now be built with BR faac (the same as they are in plf 
+for Mandriva 2010.2 or 2011):
+
+mplayer : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2771
+gstreamer-plugins-bad : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2772
+libquicktime : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2773
+vlc : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2774
+
+These four packages have just been rebuilt with new libpng by Funda
+
+I wrote a mp to Funda asking if he may rebuild them with BR faac now 
+that it's provided ...
+He thinks this should be discussed here
+
+Annsi Hannula seems to think so too :
+he said in bug 1730
+"Other things (including if using it in mythtv is ok) probably need to 
+be decided on a case-by-case basis."
+
+
+in addendum
+one other package should be imported now (bug 1730 was blocking until now)
+audiokonverter :              https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=985
+
+What do you think ?
