Description Kalev Lember 2015-11-25 12:24:55 UTC
Spec URL: https://kalev.fedorapeople.org/openh264.spec
SRPM URL: https://kalev.fedorapeople.org/openh264-1.5.2-0.1.git21e44bd.fc24.src.rpm
Description:

This is the patent-encumbered open source H.264 codec from http://www.openh264.org/. We are going to import the sources in Fedora git, but not do any publicly visible builds. The resulting binaries are going to be distributed by Cisco instead. Please see https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1496 for the background.

Fedora Account System Username: kalev

WARNING WARNING WARNING

DO NOT BUILD THIS IN KOJI

This is a special package where we are not allowed to distribute the resulting binaries. Please do not do scratch builds in koji with this package. If you accidentally do so, please contact #fedora-releng immediately to have the builds manually deleted from koji.

Comment 1 Antonio T. (sagitter) 2015-11-25 13:17:59 UTC
Just two questions: 

will this codec available and freely usable in Fedora?
How i can use it in fork project like Icecat?

Comment 2 Kalev Lember 2015-11-25 13:24:27 UTC
The plan is to have Cisco ship a repo with the binaries and on Fedora side, we'd just include a .repo file that points to the Cisco hosted content.

As for Icecat support, I suspect it would be trivial to support it. Needs someone to try this though :)

Comment 3 Kalev Lember 2015-11-25 13:30:52 UTC
I also have gstreamer openh264 codec packaging here, if anyone is interested in trying it: https://kalev.fedorapeople.org/gstreamer1-plugin-openh264.spec + gstreamer1-plugin-openh264-1.6.1-1.fc24.src.rpm

Let's do one thing at a time though and get the base library and the Mozilla support in first and then see what to do with gstreamer support. It could be that due to the way the openh264 library is going to get built, we might not be able to build anything against it and we'd instead have to work this around by merging the openh264 and gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 packages together into one srpm. I'll discuss with releng to see which way is feasible.

Comment 4 Antonio T. (sagitter) 2015-11-25 16:40:14 UTC
- Library is not full RELRO
  Not all compiler/linker flags are passed

$ checksec --file ./libopenh264.so.1
Partial RELRO - Canary found - NX enabled - DSO - No RPATH - No RUNPATH   ./libopenh264.so.1

- incoherent-version-in-changelog 1.5.0-1 ['1.5.2-0.1.git21e44bd.fc24', '1.5.2-0.1.git21e44bd']

- 'non-standard-executable-perm' is a false positive

- shlib-with-non-pic-code /usr/lib/libopenh264.so.1
  This is related to the first point, i think.

- Please, fix the error

non-standard-executable-perm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/gmp-gmpopenh264/system-installed/libgmpopenh264.so.1 775

Just another thing:

%{_sysconfdir}/profile.d/gmpopenh264.sh shold be marked with %config, i think.

I don't agree here. These aren't meant to be user configurable things; the profile.d scripts just happen to be in /etc because of historical reasons.

Comment 9 Antonio T. (sagitter) 2015-11-27 10:15:58 UTC
Package approved.

Great, thanks for the review!
