Subject: proposal: let's move oe-core to ffmpeg (from libav)
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:14:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <56A0F5D4.5090701@linux.intel.com> (raw)
Hello,
let's replace libav with ffmpeg in oe-core. The reasons are:
- all of the major distributions are using ffmpeg now (the last holdout
was Debian, and they switched to ffmpeg in summer 2015 after a long
discussion and deliberation [1][2])
- ffmpeg is much more responsive to security issues
- ffmpeg does regular releases, while libav hasn't had one since spring 2015
- other reasons listed in [2]

Objections, thoughts?
Alex
