ffmpeg2theora git 0.29-9 which compiles fine on fedora 20

ffmpeg2theros is not available, possibly due to build fail of ffmpeg-theora-0.29-5 on fedora 20.

I've also reported the issue upstream
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ffmpeg2theora/+bug/1262652



checkout the git version 0.29-9:
---
git clone git://git.xiph.org/ffmpeg2theora.git ffmpeg2theora-0.29
tar -jcf ffmpeg2theora-0.29.tar.bz2 ffmpeg2theora-0.29
---

thanks.

Can you provide a diff against the previous spec files,
I'm not looking at src.rpm, only patches are accepted for review.

Would you volunteer to maintain this package in RPM Fusion ?
You will need to learn the packaging guideline in fedora
Please have a look at http://rpmfusion.org/Contributors

Hi Nicolas,

only diff will note compile the package, we need the git sources too; I think I'll make a git version of the package.

I created "fastrizwaan" username; could you sponsor, I'd volunteer to main this. But I'd need tips and little guidance in building and contributing packages to rpmfusion. Thanks.

The diff spec looks correct for the update.
According to the fedora fas, you are not a sponsored in the packager group.
Do you have any packages for review in the fedora queue ?

Okay, sorry for the late reply.
I lack time to sponsor you in rpmfusion or fedora, so the best way would be to submit package into fedora and get a sponsor here.

That been said, given that you are a user of ffmpeg2theora, I can consider to sponsor you in rpmfusion only so you can maintain this package back into RPM Fusion.

Can you verify that your modifications match the version guideline:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Package_Versioning

Please use a unified diff (diff -u) if you need to provide patches.
Comment 9 Nicolas Chauvet 2014-04-18 14:29:46 CEST
Well, I understand that others software may requires ffmpeg2theora, but if it takes too long to update to a current version of ffmpeg, better to stay away from it and to use native ffmpeg instead:

http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/TheoraVorbisEncodingGuide

Please patch your application to avoid using ffmpeg2theora instead.
