#14960: BUG: ffmpeg svn fetch is using HEAD for parts of the software ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: raimue@macports.org | Owner: acho@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: ffmpeg | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ ffmpeg is fetched using svn from `1svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk/` using a specific revision specified by svn.tag. But in this directory in the repository is a svn:externals declaration: {{{ svn:externals : libswscale svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/libswscale }}} Therefore, libswscale is always fetched from HEAD of *another* repository. Building ffmpeg now always uses HEAD of libswscale which is not reliable. Also, building ffmpeg will result in different results although the version and revision of the port is the same. As reported on IRC by dang`r`us, ffmpeg fails at the moment on destrooting due to some HEAD commit in libswscale: {{{ : make -C libpostproc install-headers make -C libswscale install-headers Makefile:20: ../subdir.mak: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../subdir.mak'. Stop. make: *** [install-headers] Error 2 }}} We can't rely on this and therefore we should export our own source tarballs for ffmpeg. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14960> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
