That's a poor idea, renaming would break all apps expecting /usr/bin/ffmpeg. /usr/bin/ffmpeg-freeworld would cause apps to break. Also using a -freeworld suffix on the libs would break apps that use dlopen ffmpeg libs eg: firefox, audacity and others. I believe fedora should change their packaging to avoid the conflict. In this particular case the source package is named ffmpeg but the binaries are using a -free prefix (such as ffmpeg-free), so there is no package replacement (yet).

I meant the "name of the package", not "the binaries".

That is a pointless waste of our time, fedora should have used ffmpeg-free for their spec. Hi Xose reply here https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/issue/173 please |
