Talk about flimsy "scraps of the bottom of the barrel" reasons. Considering the accumulated cruft in the FFmpeg build system, this is more of a reason *not* to share source trees - rationalise the build system (or use an off-the-shelf one, whatever rocks your boat). >Not having an external dependency for something that could be considered >a core feature. A core feature that depends on niche hardware, and is only supported on a narrow subset of target platforms. Oxymoronic much? If those are your reasons, you'd have better kept them to yourself, because they're frankly ridiculous. Normally you'd bundle things because they are tightly coupled. But if they were tightly coupled, then there would be maintenance costs, so that's also a self-defeating argument. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
