can you please link me to the resolved issue because last I read the debian security team still didn't accept both packages per this statement taken right from the mailing list, "the security team is not prepared to deal with both libav and ffmpeg at the same time. That effectively forces a choice of
either libav, or ffmpeg, and not both."
and if you keep reading I see this, "
The release team is likely to let the people involved in multimedia foo
fight it out among themselves and pick a winner. We're not going to
ship both and hand that mess over to the security team."
so i'm not sure what's going to occur in 15.04 since Debian doesn't even know what they're doing for Jessie
Well, after some quick investigations, I found the final answer:
- ffmpeg will not be in Debian Jessie because of late timing & security team's objection.
- however, ffmpeg and libav are already coexisting in Debian Sid and will probably in Debian Testing too after Jessie release.
- A choice between ffmpeg & libav will be made before Debian Jessie+1 freeze (which should occur in...late 2016/early 2017)
- Ubuntu & derivatives (based on Debian Sid) will ship ffmpeg (which is in Sid) & libav from 15.04 until...well until Debian kicks it out of Sid if that happens someday ! ^^'
