OK, then it's agreed to remove libschroedinger. > Note however that VC2 is only a subset of Dirac, > so we'll definitely lose some (probably unimportant) functionality > here. That's true, but I also think that the functionality going to be lost is rather unimportant. > Current reverse dependencies are > ffmpeg > gmerlin-avdecoder > gst-plugins-bad1.0 > libquicktime > liquidsoap > lives > ocaml-schroedinger > vlc There is also mplayer, which has a build-dependency on libschroedinger-dev, however no run-time dependency due to: Checking for libschroedinger ... no (ffmpeg (static) is required by libschroedinger, sorry) > Except for the ocaml bindings, this should all be a matter of simply > disabling the functionality. Yes. The ocaml bindings have a very low popcon (14), so I think it's OK to just remove them together with libschroedinger. I will take care of ffmpeg myself and I assume you will take care of gst-plugins-bad1.0. I intend to file bugs for the other packages and block this bug by them. Best regards, Andreas
