But as shown above ubuntu is still actively doing things with these packages so if someone confirms that ubuntu still has interrest in these (or another distro) then ill try to continue to update these thx -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Take away the freedom of one citizen and you will be jailed, take away the freedom of all citizens and you will be congratulated by your peers in Parliament.

Even if those have people using them, you should drop them now. They are old, and we're not sure they are complete in terms of backports and fixes. If you maintain them, people expect completion, while they are not complete, and it does not incentize people to upgrade. > But as shown above ubuntu is still actively doing things with these > packages so if someone confirms that ubuntu still has interrest in > these (or another distro) then ill try to continue to update these In summary, IMHO: I think you should support less versions. Drop 2.8 and 3.4 (after a point release, if you want). Maintain 4.2, 4.4, 5.1, 6.1 and drop all the rest (4.0, 4.1, 4,.3, 5.0). Almost no other project in the world support that many branches. It's better to have a few very well maintained, than all those. -- Jean-Baptiste Kempf - President +33 672 704 734 https://jbkempf.com/ _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe". ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
