Paul was against SDR and SDR was never included into FFmpeg. But the main person who was against SDR was you. And i thus tried to talk with you about this. You refused to talk with me and pointed to the community. The community, that happily talked with me had largely no idea why SDR was bad they just screamed "foul" because you did. Thats how i preceived it > There are other > areas like sonic and libpostproc where he is unhappy with your actions. I intended to work on sonic but did not had the time yet And libpostproc, i intended to split out as a STF project and maintain outside. But people said 5k$ is too much. So 5k will be donated and libpostproc stays in FFmpeg. I dont know. But it seems the people are fighting the problem and the solution at the same time. > > Yet again you don't have the right to hold this project to ransom based on > your whims. If anything you doing this proves that you shouldn't be de > facto leader. You want me to return as leader and talk with a few aggressive people from the ML ? And no i would not ban anyone if they stop. But if i was leader these annoying debates would have stoped 1 day after their start. thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Many things microsoft did are stupid, but not doing something just because microsoft did it is even more stupid. If everything ms did were stupid they would be bankrupt already.
