I made a patch to /usr/ports/graphics/ffmpeg but it needs fixing up to

The patch is uuencoded here:

Perhaps we can see this in OpenBSD 5.4?  Then I don't have to recompile
ffmpeg.
OK, the legal issue has already been dealt with by Stuart.

I hesitated replying to you privately, but I think proposals like this
one should be avoided.

On the technical side, your patch should have added audio/faac to
LIB_DEPENDS.

But about the method...
- your mail should probably have been sent to ports@, not misc@
- your mail could easily include an inlined diff (an attachment is also
   possible on ports@).  Instead here one should go to a website,
   copy/paste some text, uudecode it... wait
- your diff is not based on -current, patching fails
- any explanation other than "I need this" or "go to ShitOverflow for
   the details"?

As a side not I don't even know what the heck is an Apple TV and I don't
really care about that...

Since there was a legal thing the issue is closed.  However you're just
nagging.  I enhanced the OpenBSD port and thought I'd share, your
response will make me keep these things secret in the future.
