[mpeg2-dev] sf trackers, bug report, and api updates

[David I. L. <dl...@vt...>]

Sigh... walken has disabled the sourceforge trackers for libmpeg2 and
liba52.  A very useful feature to keep bugs and features requests and
patches and so on organized.  Response on IRC: "<walken> use the ML !"

Ok, bug report: trackers are disabled.

More serious bug report: vektor (working on movietime) and Xine project
are thinking of and/or have branched libmpeg2 because it does not offer
enough features to be useful in their projects.  There is quite a bit of
stream info that needs to be passed to the output API or else complex
duplicate stream processing code must be added to applications.  walken:
if you don't know how to proceed on development let other developers
have a CVS branch to play around in until the code is worthy to merge
back to HEAD.  That's what CVS is for, use it.  You've disabled the only
other way to provide patches, the Patches Tracker (which vektor posted a
patch to already).  You can have all activity on the trackers sent to
mailing list if that's the only issue.  Hard to develop cross-project
libraries like this.  Please help to cooperate, I want to see movietime
released and vektor is waiting on this stuff.  Thanks.
