Note: upstream python-webm has not received a single update since March 2012, and it is now behind our in-tree copy which now supports lossless compression. I have created an upstream ticket with my patch: https://code.google.com/p/python-webm/issues/detail?id=2
As for the hard-coded library names, this is unfortunate but was needed to make it work on all the platforms we support (I can't remember for sure, but I think "find_library" did not work on OSX for example). We *could* use "find_library" once it has been proven to work everywhere (takes time). Please also note that in the upcoming xpra 0.10 release, the loading of codecs has changed: we now use the __import__ construct to "soft load" these dependencies. Your patches will need to get updated for that. Also, in Debian speak this means "libwebp" should be a "Suggests" or at most a "Recommends" rather than a hard dependency. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
