[00:11:07 CEST] <thardin> if these fuzz fixes are a hassle to port, maybe the way releases are updated needs to be rethought?
[00:27:40 CEST] <BtbN> As in, just give up on classic releases, and just tag a commit that's deemed somewhat stable every now and then, like systemd does for example?
[00:28:28 CEST] <jamrial> that's what x264 does, and imo it's kinda ugly
[00:28:46 CEST] <BtbN> For something like x264 it's probably fine
[00:28:58 CEST] <BtbN> but for something as huge and complex as ffmpeg it seems unfitting to me
[00:29:45 CEST] <jamrial> yeah, ffmpeg needs bugfix releases for existing branches since LTS distros exist
[00:47:24 CEST] <jdarnley> "LTS" distros do their own thing and in the process break stuff so leave to do it
[00:48:12 CEST] <kierank> there should be release and stable
[00:48:13 CEST] <kierank> and that's it
[10:44:20 CEST] <cone-123> ffmpeg 03Michael Niedermayer 07master:6c67c8ca9ae6: Revert "avformat/rtpdec_rfc4175: Fix incorrect copy_offset calculation"
[13:48:57 CEST] <kurosu> jdarnley_obs: (not about reviewing) does your x86inc patchset relate to code in ffmpeg (existing or being ported eg from one instruction set to another) ?
[13:53:15 CEST] <J_Darnley> No, I have no current use for the changes.
[13:54:22 CEST] <J_Darnley> I was looking at it because I was updating the shim in another project to see if it would fix an issue there.
[14:14:30 CEST] <durandal_1707> who will write release news?
[15:32:36 CEST] <durandal_1707> should we ban this guy on user mailing list?
[15:35:07 CEST] <mkver> durandal_1707: Which guy specifically?
[15:35:29 CEST] <J_Darnley> Who?  Reindl?  That is how everyone sane eventually reacts to user support.
[15:35:53 CEST] <J_Darnley> I don't know how Carl does otherwise.
[15:36:16 CEST] <durandal_1707> carl does not use f word
[15:37:10 CEST] <J_Darnley> Yeah.  I don't know how he manages to not swear at the endless stream of dumb users.
[15:39:36 CEST] <durandal_1707> that guy called me multiple times with derogatory term
[16:04:02 CEST] <durandal_1707> update topic here too?
[16:04:45 CEST] <durandal_1707> so we can get phoronix excited coverage
[16:05:33 CEST] <Lynne> we're not gstreamer, we can't get exciting phoronix coverage
[16:06:12 CEST] <durandal_1707> why?
[16:07:52 CEST] <mkver> Actually, phoronix has just written about 4.2: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=FFmpeg-4.2-Released
[16:08:16 CEST] <durandal_1707> haha
[16:11:10 CEST] <nevcairiel> phoronix gets excited about all sorts of minor c hanges
[16:13:16 CEST] <thardin> woop
[16:15:31 CEST] <durandal_1707> mentioned gif parser in topic, like its very important addition
[16:16:50 CEST] <thardin> I certainly have more meme gifs than webms on my machine, so it makes sense
[22:05:48 CEST] <Lynne> I also got in the "I agreed with nicolas once" camp!
[22:08:29 CEST] <durandal_1707> lol
[22:49:08 CEST] <durandal_1707> here. we. go. again.
[22:49:23 CEST] <thardin> have I unwittingly instigated this month's bikeshedding session?
[22:50:31 CEST] <BtbN> There are _a ton_ of instances of no braces for single line if() in the codebase. And the previous style guideline said the exact opposite. Changing it now seems weird.
[22:55:18 CEST] <Lynne> its from someone's company email
[22:57:24 CEST] <thardin> it's due to a discussion me and ngaullier had on irc earlier today
[22:59:40 CEST] <thardin> of course if I had my way as far as security and correctness is concerned there would be much wailing
[23:12:41 CEST] <sfs> hello
[23:12:45 CEST] <sfs> are there any problems with ffmpeg and VSX on big-endian POWER?
[23:12:49 CEST] <sfs> i ask because in configure, there is
[23:12:53 CEST] <sfs> 5535 if ! enabled ppc64 || enabled bigendian; then
[23:13:03 CEST] <sfs> 5536     disable vsx
[23:13:13 CEST] <sfs> i was wondering why VSX was getting disabled even though i passed --enable-vsx
[23:13:54 CEST] <BtbN> I guess nobody wrote SIMD for that combination?
[23:14:18 CEST] <J_Darnley> I have no idea but maybe we have no testers.  Or maybe that assembly is written for little.
[23:16:05 CEST] <sfs> ok, i will try to run make test
