Comment 9 for bug 340303

Well it seems like sebastian, and nullack are for the feature freeze exception, and I am certainly not opposed to it. I propose a division of labor to push this ffe through.

From my point of view the diff seems somewhat cumbersome to dissect into individual bugs and fixes. I think a reasonable course of action would be to see how different the ubuntu source was from upstream on 20090204 and then look at each commit using ffmpeg's git or svn repo. If we dived the number of commits by the people that want this it shouldn't be so bad. There were 28 days for changes to be made to the source so roughly between sebastian, nullack and myself we should each have to go through 9 days of commits. This would allow us to build up the bug documentation necessary to convince the release managers to break the freeze per what Reinhard said.

I will examine changes made from February 4th through February 13th; as well as test Reinhard's ppa version of ffmpeg.
