Hi all, Can somebody state for the reasons of a split of libavcodec54 and libavcodec-extra-54 ? The only diff. I could see between both of them are/were the three decoders which are in the extra-54 which are not in libavcodec54.
I searched the archives over a year and a little above but didn't see this query asked. I have tripped on it whenever I'm installing the package on some friend's, acquaintance's system. Can anybody clarify ? I would love to add the reasoning to the wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/MultimediaCodecs . I have already added the bit of conflict between the two packages. Is there a reason to have both the packages ? Are there any codec packages which a user should download ? If you see the wiki, it seems that not a single package is mentioned anywhere for codec package/s. I was looking for a decoder to play a video file which needs On2 vp7 decoder. Imagine my surprise to know that both vp6 and vp8 are there, but vp7 is not there. Any ideas anybody ? Lastly, is there a possibility of having a metapackage so people could have all of it in one go ? Codecs, video player, the works. something like :- $ apt-get install debian-multimedia Looking forward to learn more. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
