Bug Description

Upstream changes:
https://groups.google.com/a/webmproject.org/group/webm-discuss/browse_thread/thread/affaf0069c199ca4

0.9.2 will also properly fix bug #622895, without workarounding it in end user applications (ffmpeg).

I build a package myself and found no regression.

the same package is already in the gstreamer & chromium PPAs. No issue reported by anyone after a week.
It's needed in Chromium, mostly for the performance improvements in the WebM codec (as used on YouTube).

[10:10] <fta2> slomo, hi, will you put libvpx 0.9.2 in maverick?
[10:11] <slomo> fta2: would be a good idea, yes
..

[10:25] <slomo> fta2: ok, well, if you have the time to get it updated... it's definitely a good idea to do so
[10:26] <fta2> slomo, what's left to be done? you already have it in the gst ppa (and i have it in the 4 chromium ppas, it's working just fine)
[10:27] <slomo> fta2: no idea, ask someone who knows the ubuntu procedures better than me :)
[10:27] <slomo> the package is ready, if anything is left it's paperwork
[10:27] <fta2> didrocks, ^^
[10:28] <didrocks> fta2: can you summarize quicky please? I didn't follow the conversation, it's a new package/feature?
[10:30] <fta2> didrocks, libvpx 0.9.1 -> 0.9.2 bump, lots of performance improvements, welcomed for chromium for the video codecs (WebM)
[10:30] <didrocks> fta2: are there new features or just bugfix?
[10:30] <slomo> and bugfixes, including some rather important ones
[10:30] <slomo> is a performance improvement a bugfix or a new feature? ;)
[10:30] <fta2> didrocks, and it's been tested for at least a week without issues
[10:31] <didrocks> slomo: I wouldn't say a feature ;)
[10:31] <didrocks> if it's that, you just can sync from experimental
[10:31] <didrocks> fta2: requestsync
[10:31] <didrocks> no paperwork needed apart from describing in the bug why you want it to get synced
