In [1], Moritz from the security team clearly stated that he is more than uncomfortable with having more than one copy of libavcodec in debian/testing. In consequence this means that any package that builds against the ffmpeg packages currently in NEW won't make it into testing either. I am therefore surprised about the given answer to the question above. I think it would be best if ftp-master left the ffmpeg package in NEW until an answer to this problem has been found.

I am curious why this is your first email about this matter to pkg-multimedia, and why do you write this email only now? Moreover, I am curious why I haven't seen you working on libavcodec bugs in Debian before, and why do you believe you can do a better job with the ffmpeg package currently on NEW? -- regards, Reinhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
