[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#547248: ITP: libvdpau -- Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix

[Andres Mejia]

Just so you know, I thought I would help out with the packaging of libvdpau so
I've setup the packaging for it. You can find it here.

git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/libvdpau.git
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/libvdpau.git

The packaging should be moved somewhere in a git repository maintained by the
Debian NVIDIA Maintainers team.

Anyway, this packages libvdpau-0.2. This addresses the concerns at [1].

One concern I have is with the trace library, libvdpau_trace.so. If this
library is not going to supply any versioning, than this library should reside
in a subdirectory in /usr/lib. For example, we could follow the same scheme
adopted by pulseaudio, have the trace library installed in
/usr/lib/vdpau-0.2/modules.

If the library is to be ABI compatible across different revisions, than
versioning info should be added to the library instead.
