[DVDnav-discuss] [SCM] libdvdnav/master: Merge tag 'upstream/4.9.0__gita5c13254'

[Bálint Réczey]

Dear Jean-Baptiste and DVDnav developers,

We applaud your efforts in contributing to libdvdnav. Having
libdvdnav's code in git
and having a new very active developer is a big help to the project.

We at Debian would happily use the libdvdnav code from git as the base of our
packages, but from the linked thread [1] it seems there is no established
consensus regarding the state of the VideoLAN-hosted repository.

I would like to ask all of you (developers contributing either to the
original svn and
the new git repositories) to decide if the repository at
git.videolan.org/libdvdnav.git
is a continuation of libdvdnav's development or not.

This is needed to prevent the fragmentation of development which would
unnecessarily complicate life for projects using libdvdnav.

I'm somewhat biased towards migrating libdvdnav to git in this step
and continuing
development in VLC's repo since it is ready and moving to git is probably
unavoidable.

Either way I would be glad to see a public announcement on dvdnav-discuss
clarifying the situation.

Thanks,
Balint
