Description Neal Gompa 2022-03-07 13:34:57 UTC
Description of problem:
When we first introduced ffmpeg into Fedora, we included a non-upstream patch to add an API for Chromium. However, this patch did not make it upstream and other FFmpeg builds in the Fedora ecosystem have dropped it, creating an ABI incompatibility.

We need to drop it ASAP so ABI compatibility is restored.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.0-8

Additional info:
The patch: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ffmpeg/blob/9af6474ed1945a12771b6b666d4d5bccb70cb65d/f/ffmpeg-support-chromium.patch

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2022-03-07 13:41:51 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 36-beta by Fedora user ngompa using the blocker tracking app because:

 Fixing this ABI incompatibility needs to be done before GA so that we're not stuck with this.

Comment 2 Geoffrey Marr 2022-03-07 22:26:43 UTC
