Subject:   Installing mplayer's libavcodec, libavutil?
Message-ID:  <200610092200.26576@aldan>

Although no official release of ffmpeg exists, the code bunlded with the 
occasional mplayer (pre-)releases is, probably, as close as it gets to being 
a release. Ffmpeg project is hosted by mplayerhq.hu and they appear to have a 
rather close relationship...

A number of other ported packages bundle their own versions of ffmpeg of 
different stages of staleness.

Our official port ffmpeg-devel is not only stale, but also broken on non-i386. 

Perhaps, the libavcodec and libavutil already built by mplayer can be 
installed by the port, so that other ports can LIB_- or BUILD_-depend on it?

The patch for the mplayer-port itself would be rather simple -- is anyone 
against the idea in principle?

Thanks!
