Comment 2 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-04-03 16:39:13 UTC
I think it would make more sense to detach it from ports as much as possible
Comment 3 Kurt Jaeger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-04-03 17:31:50 UTC
Why ?
Comment 4 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-04-03 17:59:33 UTC
Not a great track record [1], slow [2], development pretty much seems to be bugfixes and the majority of software (at least in ports) supports both faad and/or ffmpeg or has moved to ffmpeg.

Comment 7 Thomas Zander freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-04-11 14:21:17 UTC
Over time, both faad and faac will likely become obsolete. For now, I'd keep it in the tree and at some point deprecate after proper announcement and grace period.
Comment 8 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-04-11 17:18:53 UTC
Hi Thomas,

I think you misunderstood, I meant that we should encourage and transistion existing ports for a better user experience which as sidenote pretty much also goes for audio/libmad.

Best regards,
Daniel
Comment 9 Thomas Zander freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-04-12 05:50:52 UTC
Oh yeah, better user experience is always great. I don't think there is a disagreement here :-)

libmad is an interesting case. It is a fairly small fixed point implementation that might still advantages e.g. in constrained devices over something as big as ffmpeg.
