I wonder what is upstream's take on this?
I've started to work on x265. The upstream build systems is a lot saner now. The shared library has a proper SONAME and it's no longer necessary to patch the build system. The inital packaging can be found at http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/x265.git. I'm going to play with it a day or two and then I'll probably upload it. Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
