|
just something i noticed while -uDing last night. Don't know whether it deserves status as a bug or not, so i'll post it here and let a higher authority decide.
the USE flag x264 is (allegedly) used to pull in the x264 _en_coding libraries:
| Code: | > grep -i 264 /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc
x264 - Enable h264 encoding using x264 |
But when it updated, i get this message at the end:
"Please note that this package now only installs x264-svn libraries. In order to have the encoder, please emerge media-video/x264-svn-encoder"
verified by:
| Code: | > equery d x264-svn
[ Searching for packages depending on x264-svn... ]
media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc1_p20070824 (x264? media-libs/x264-svn)
> equery d x264-svn-encoder
[ Searching for packages depending on x264-svn-encoder... ]

So, either the use.desc needs modifying to say the x264 flag pulls in the decoder only, mplayer needs to be told to pull in the x264-svn-encoder package as well as decoder, or just add a new USE flag to have seperate encoder/decoder packages. |
