Description of problem: Theora 1.0beta1 was released a few days ago. From the release announcement, it seems that it will be a good idea to update -- the bitstream has changed, but the new decoder can handle all previous versions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libtheora-1.0alpha8-0.3.svn13393
Behdad, I think upgrading is a good idea, as we are now using a svn snapshot. I especially think upgrading is a good idea because of this mail I just received from upstream: --- Greetings. I observed your name in the Theora RPM in Fedora as the most recent person to change the package. Fedora 8 Test 3 appears to have 1.0alpha8-0.1.svn13393. Theora 1.0 beta is now out (Announcement http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/theora/2007-September/001595.html). It's believed that the current SVN snapshot in Fedora came from a time when the theora tree was fairly buggy, though perhaps you managed to select a golden version. Is there any chance of getting the more recent theora code into Fedora 8? --- So since upstream is requesting us to fix this (and rightfully so) shall I create a new package and submit that to rawhide and F-7 updates-testing?
Hans, Please feel free to update as you feel the need. In fact, feel free to take ownership of the package; or the entire vorbis stack FWIW. Thanks.
Updated, tested and build for rawhide. F-7 version is building and I'll push that to updates-testing once its done. About taking owner ship of the vorbis stack, I'll request the necessary rights in packagedb to be able to co-maintain it and I'll try to do most of the work, first lets try that for a while, if that works well and you would like to officially unown it thats fine with me.
