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,

In theory we could do that, except that we would than need
libavutil56-headless and so on. I don't think that scales.

And … you'll want ffmpeg linked agaist libvdpau1 (and the other
hardware-accalerted encoding/decoding libraries), so you'll end up with
x11 libs anyway.

The additional complexity that this requires is not worth the maintainer
effort. If you want to reduce ffmpeg's dependencies, you're better off building
it yourself.

Cheers
