Bug#998748: ffmpeg: headless package version
Package: ffmpeg
Version: 7:4.4.1-1+b1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
ffmpeg is sometimes (often?) used to just convert video files and for
example generate previews. In that case, it's not useful/needed to
display anything (or echo any sound) so actually all output stuff could
be skipped, reducing dependencies.
It'd be nice (imho :) to have a way to install a headless ffmpeg
versions on those servers, and not have all those
fontconfig/libasound2/x11-common dependencies.
I'm unsure how hard it is on the packaging side though.
Regards,
