Dear libdvdnav devs, please consider applying the following patch originating from the handbrake project: <https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/blob/master/contrib/libdvdnav/A08-dvdnav-dup.patch>
It adds two new functions, dvdnav_dup() and dvdnav_free_dup(), that duplicate a dvdnav_t object and remove a duplicate from memory, respectively - well, at least roughly. We (i.e. the pkg-multimedia-packages team in Debian) are currently trying to get handbrake built cleanly against Debian's system libraries and this patch is currently the only one that's missing to reach this goal. The handbrake build system currently downloads the libdvdnav source code (among others), patches it and builds a private library from it. Adding the functions directly into the handbrake source code (instead of the downloaded library) is impossible, because they need to know sizeof(dvdnav_t), which is not part of libdvdnav's public API - which is in turn reasonable. So, please, having these two functions in the next libdvdnav release would make it possible to build this huge OSS project that is handbrake using only the distribution's libraries (apart from libfaac, of course, which is prepared but still not in Debian, because it is considered non-free by our FTP-Masters). BTW, there are also some other interesting patches in handbrake's repos. ;) Best regards, Fabian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
