Description Benjamin Otte 2010-06-11 10:54:25 EDT

To add support for WebM, GStreamer needs libvpx packages imported from Fedora.

Comparison patch.

libvpx-0.9.0-6.fc14 adjusted to binary-match (tested only asm .o files) for verification of the gas variant.  This patch still builds libvpx by yasm.

Comment 7 Jan Kratochvil 2010-06-21 17:00:55 EDT

BTW upstream has 0.9.1 (+newer GIT); Fedora Rawhide still contains 0.9.0.

One should check the upstream patches:
 * There is a stack non-executability implementation - it may affect SELinux.
 * There are various backend fixes which may not be immediately visible
   as the developer's machine chooses a different backend.

QA: All the supported optimized backends (MMX/SSE2/SSSE3/etc.) should be probably tested.

Post upstream (had to use Midori/webkit, it is Firefox/Gecko-incompatible):
