If we don't ship it, tech users will grab it from one of the PPAs, and worse, the vast majority of ubuntu users will just stop using Chromium the first time they hit a <video> and move to the upstream Google Chrome deb which ships the whole thing by default.
BTW, it's not a copy of ffmpeg per say, our system ffmpeg is not multi-threaded. And Google is taking care of the security of that thing, along with upstream, hence the stack of patches in the tarball. -- [FFe] chromium-codecs-ffmpeg for lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
