Bug#471136: Please package upstream snapshot 20080206

[Reinhard Tartler]

Package: ffmpeg
Severity: important

I did a first shot at updating the ffmpeg source to version
20080206. The result can be seen at
svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-multimedia/experimental/ffmpeg.20080206/debian

I merily refreshed the quilt patches to the new upstream and introduced
a new binary package libavdevice. The resulting source package at least
doesn't FTBFS on my laptop, so please don't use that for anything
serious. I have published the corresponding tarbal at
http://people.debian.org/~siretart/tarballs/ for your convenience.
a buildlog is attached.

What's needed now:

 - SONAME bump. libavdevice was split of libavformat, so applications
   definitly need to be reviewed if they need to link against
   libavformat, libavdevice or both.

 - There seem to be many problems WRT using PIC in the shared library
   code. This need revising

 - There are too many patches in debian/patches. They need revising,
   documenting and submission upstream.

With both issue, I don't really see myself in a position to do that. I
therefore kindly ask someone else to help me with that.
