Hi all, A few years ago we made the switch from ffmpeg to libav (a mostly drop-in compatible fork), with fairly good justification at the time. However, it looks like Debian has just made the switch back to ffmpeg, citing a number of reasons - most notably more responsive security issue patching in recent history. Here's a page with their full reasoning: https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/libav-provider/ffmpeg Gstreamer (gst-libav, specifically) has also just recently made the switch back for its internal copy: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751607 What do people think? Should we be looking to make the switch back in OE as well?
That make sense to me. Also libav has LICENSE_FLAGS = "commercial" so the change which will simplify things too.
