libav and FFmpeg: switch over
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
Hello,
After a careful review of all the pros and cons we, the Debian
Multimedia Maintainers team, have finally decided to switch from Libav
to FFmpeg as provider for the libav* multimedia libraries. We'll try
our best to make this happen in time for stretch.
The main arguments for using FFmpeg are summarized on the wiki [1],
while the full discussion can be found on the
pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list, starting at [2].
Finally we want to thank very much Reinhard Tartler for the tremendous
efforts he put in place while serving as both upstream developer and
Debian's primary maintainer for Libav in the past 4 years. We all owe
him a great debt of gratitude for that.
Cheers!
Alessio Treglia
on behalf of the Debian Multimedia Maintainers
