[FFmpeg-devel] Fwd: Re: patch for x32 for libpostproc

[Reinhard Tartler]

There seems to be at least some activity here.  Maybe we can update the
Debian libpostproc package to Michael's new branch.

Derek, just to clarify since you worked on the branch the package is
currently based on: What are your thoughts on this? Are you interested in
continuing this effort? What would you recommend to use for the Debian
package? Is it useful to have libpostproc in Debian? (see also the backlog
of this bug).

Please advise.

Thanks

Heres a proof of concept updated libpostproc

https://github.com/michaelni/FFmpeg/tree/separated_libpostproc

this is simply a clone of ffmpeg with everything unneeded
droped and the build system from the libpostproc repository
it builds successfully but is completely untested beyond that

It seems the old buildsystem lacks HAVE_MMX*_INLINE support, this
would need to be added, as well as updating README and all that as
well as testing

also the differences in aboves repo could possibly be used to
construct a script to create a split out libpostproc for debian
if thats whats wanted.

If you think the mosad wants you dead since a long time then you are either
wrong or dead since a long time.
