You don't need access to the FATE server to submit patches, you can run FATE locally to ensure it passes. Refer to https://ffmpeg.org/fate.html#Using-FATE-from-your-FFmpeg-source-directory - Step 3 is only meaningful if you want to setup a new FATE box that runs continously on some unique configuration which we do not have already. The central FATE system only serves as an automated regression testing suite on a variety of hardware and software configurations that not every developer has access to - but it only tests changes after they are reviewed and pushed to Git, so after you submitted patches - at which point you should already have tested with a local FATE system to ensure it passes at all. - Hendrik _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
