  Description     : Reliable Internet Stream Transport for reliable transmission of video over lossy networks

Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST) is a transport protocol
designed for reliable transmission of video over lossy networks
(including the Internet) with low latency and high quality.
.
RIST is intended as a more reliable successor to Secure Reliable
Transport (SRT), and as an open alternative to proprietary commercial
options such as Zixi, VideoFlow, QVidium, and DVEO (Dozer).


The second paragraph also describes my motivation for packaging this,
with my newly-acquired SRT maintainer hat on. Further information about
RIST (and most of the description above) can be found at
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliable_Internet_Stream_Transport>, and
further language wrappers and application integration can be found at
<https://code.videolan.org/rist>.

FFmpeg as present in Bookworm or newer already allows building against
librist, hence a heads-up to the Debian Multimedia Maintainers. I will
send a patch for evaluating librist linking once the package hits the
archives.

Cheers,
Flo
