Description drago01 2015-11-22 17:16:34 UTC

Description of problem:

libvpx 1.5.0 has been released see: https://groups.google.com/a/webmproject.org/forum/#!topic/codec-devel/0rjNpFerYs8

It improves both vp9 encoding and decoding performance so would be nice to have it.

Unfortunately it breaks ABI so a rebuild of deps will be required.

Comment 1 barsnick 2015-11-23 15:37:18 UTC

The break in ABI is reflected by a bump of the soname version. This calls for either a parallel package (libvpx15, or libvpx14 and libvpx), or introduction into the new Fedora release. (But I'm not totally aware of the Fedora update rules on this - just saying.)

An entry in the upstream release monitoring database wouldn't be bad either. Let me note that the source URL has moved to
http://downloads.webmproject.org/releases/webm/%{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2

(BTW, 1.5.0 seems to build fine with a few SPEC adaptations.)

Comment 2 Jonathan Underwood 2015-11-24 09:24:38 UTC

xpra really benefits from 1.5 for speed, so this would get a vote from me :)

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2015-12-01 18:57:42 UTC

I don't mind doing this in rawhide, but I'm going to have to be convinced to do this for any other branches.

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2015-12-02 13:45:46 UTC

libvpx-1.5.0 is now in rawhide. All dependencies that repoquery found have been rebuilt:
