Lucid beta 2 still has 0.24 version like karmic !
here is a package for 0.25 https://launchpad.net/~theora/+archive/ppa

[CassieMoondust (cassie-lx)]

Package should updated soon. I need Theora 1.1, which is much more efficiency and it is out there long before lucid's freeze.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. We cannot sync this from Debian as is since it fails to build from source. I'm attaching the build failre, the relavent portion is here:
gcc -o ffmpeg2theora src/iso639.o src/ffmpeg2theora.o src/theorautils.o src/subtitles.o src/index.o src/avinfo.o -lvorbisenc -lvorbis -lm -ltheoraenc -ltheoradec -lavcodec -lavdevice -lavformat -lpostproc -lswscale -loggkate -lkate -logg
/usr/bin/ld: src/ffmpeg2theora.o: undefined reference to symbol 'av_free@@LIBAVUTIL_50'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'av_free@@LIBAVUTIL_50' is defined in DSO /usr/lib64/libavutil.so.50 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib64/libavutil.so.50: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

[madbiologist (me-again)]

Thanks for checking this Micah. I have very little experience with building anything from source, so I'm not sure what to make of your report. I note that according to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg/4:0.6.1-2ubuntu1 and https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/libavutil50 the necessary library is available in Natty (as part of the ffmpeg package). Does the line "note: 'av_free@@LIBAVUTIL_50' is defined in DSO /usr/lib64/libavutil.so.50 so try adding it to the linker command line" in your report mean that it is just a matter of modifying the command to gcc -o ffmpeg2theora src/iso639.o src/ffmpeg2theora.o src/theorautils.o src/subtitles.o src/index.o src/avinfo.o -lvorbisenc -lvorbis -lm -ltheoraenc -ltheoradec -lavcodec -lavdevice -lavformat -lpostproc -lswscale -loggkate -lkate -logg -lavutil50 ?

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

It's something like that. See http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

I uploaded a patch to fix FTBFS. It has been taken from Debian, so please feel free to drop it for sync in future.

[madbiologist (me-again)]

Micah: Now that Artur has provided a build fix, can you sync the new version?

[madbiologist (me-again)]

Finally fixed in Oneiric.
