Any work making ffserver not depend on private API and ffm* will take a long while. It's unrealistic to think it will be ready even in time for 3.3 or the major bump. As i said, once that work is done from within a separate repo after ffserver has been removed from the main repository as announced, I'm ok if a patch reintroducing it is sent to this list. We can then discuss if it's something we want to have in the tree again, knowing well history as shown interest on it has been minimal and development sparse. > > (but before any more announcing really we should check and double check > that all issues that need fixing were fixed and i really want everyone > agreeing and being happy and ATM everyone seems in bloodrage berseker > mode, while that gives us a interresting suggestion for the next > release name, it doesnt make me happy at all to see everyone fight > and be angry) Neither to me. But how this was handled, how the agreed efforts towards a graceful removal of ffserver for the benefit of anyone that still wants to use it with up to date git master were used, rubbed me the wrong way. I don't care about ffserver, but i do care about the image of the project, and when people abuse trust. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
