although it is bad practice in general, I think you should include ffmpeg into pidip ... what do you think ?
i don't understand what's wrong here, i don't have the habit to distribute libraries i did not write with my packages. should i ditribribute Image Magick too ? i precisely think this is a bad practice.
Instead of hosting a cvs snapshot of ffmpeg, you should note the date when upgrading from ffmpeg cvs, then use this date to write a special cvs command, so people can fetch the correct ffmpeg cvs snapshot.
Here's to upgrade from cvs, and show the correct date (make sure your clock is correctly set):
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/ffmpeg
co ffmpeg
date -u +"%F %R"
The date will look like 2003-12-03 02:40
Here's the command to retrieve that exact snapshot, even a month later:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/ffmpeg
co -D "2003-12-03 02:40" ffmpeg
