Hi Jonas! I also can volunteer uploading 0.7.1 as part of my kodi work. Also, is it a good idea to reach Joerg Jaspert directly and kindly ask for review?
Why am I asking this: I have two pending packages (libudfread & shairplay). At the same time, I am preparing full Kodi binary addon archive (84 source packages). I am carefully investigating copyrights and perform builds and tests in the publuc unofficial repo (see relevant d-multimedia discussiob). However, I don't want to wait YEARS after Kodi reaches release. Instead, I am using my sparevtime to keep packaging ready as development of Kodi upstream progresses. With such enormous waiting times and no understandingbof how to solve it gracefully, the whole project might become a waste of time and I obviously try avoiding it. -- Vasyl Gello ================================================== Certified SolidWorks Expert Mob.:+380 (98) 465 66 77 E-Mail: vasek.ge...@gmail.com Skype: vasek.gello ================================================== 호랑이는 죽어서 가죽을 남기고 사람은 죽어서 이름을 남긴다 July 2, 2020 8:11:03 AM UTC, Jonas Smedegaard <jo...@jones.dk> написав(-ла): >Quoting Dylan Aïssi (2020-07-02 09:29:51) >> On Tue, 30 Jun 2020 03:38:20 +0000 Vasyl Gello <vasek.ge...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > There is a new upstream release 0.7.1 for a week or so. >> > Can you please package it? >> >> dav1d is in the NEW queue since 1,5 years.
