summary |
When users run ffmpeg <whatever> they are presented with a message that is somewhat erroneous & completely childish |
Warning message from ffmpeg program needs update |
|

description |
As in "This program is not developed anymore and is only provided for compatibility. Use avconv instead ..
FFmpeg is certainly still being developed, why the need to provide a misleading message? If you can't speak the truth then don't at all.
Come on guys - grow up a little
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04
Package: libav-tools 4:0.8-1ubuntu2
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-17.26-generic-pae 3.2.6
Uname: Linux 3.2.0-17-generic-pae i686
NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia
ApportVersion: 1.93-0ubuntu1
Architecture: i386
Date: Thu Feb 23 17:03:58 2012
InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha i386 (20120220)
ProcEnviron:
TERM=xterm
PATH=(custom, user)
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
SHELL=/bin/bash
SourcePackage: libav
UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) |
The warning message from the ffmpeg program needs to be updated. It should instead say
"*** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***\n"
"This program is only provided for compatibility "
"and will be removed in a future release. Please "
"use avconv instead.\n"
This is patched in Debian. See [1].
[Impact] - Users are seeing a different message everytime they run the ffmpeg program. The original message is causing confusion amongst general users of the ffmpeg who are not aware that the ffmpeg program provided in Ubuntu is the ffmpeg program originally made available from the Libav project.
[Development Fix] - Message just needs to be updated. See [1]. Note that the ffmpeg binary has been dropped completely in the development tree in libav.
[Stable Fix] - See [1].
[Test Case] - Just run the ffmpeg program. Running 'ffmpeg -L' is sufficient to see the warning. The original warning reads,
"This program is not developed anymore and is only "
"provided for compatibility. Use avconv instead "
"(see Changelog for the list of incompatible changes).\n"
The new warning should read,
"*** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***\n"
"This program is only provided for compatibility "
"and will be removed in a future release. Please "
"use avconv instead.\n"
[Regression Potential] - There's no potential regression.
