SarvattUDS lanyards this year have vmware on them :)01:42
bjsniderSarvatt, can we discuss the libva packaging for a minute?01:42
Sarvattbjsnider: sorry about that horrible upload, luckily it didnt build01:42
bjsniderwell, i was going over it, and it looks like you packaged it like gwenole, but i think that's wrong01:43
Sarvattit's a total PITA to update it with how it's packaged in debian, I used the intel upstream packaging01:43
bjsniderhe's got all of the public libs together like they're private01:43
Sarvattyeah its crazy, not sure why i uploaded it to the PPA01:44
bjsnideri sent a correct version into x-updates01:44
bjsnideri think it's correct anyway01:44
Sarvattsweet!01:44
bjsnideri ran it with -list-missing, and it found some stuff. there are 4 bins that aren't installed by debian at all01:45
* Sarvatt takes a look01:45
bjsniderfedora's packaging stakes the 4 bins and puts them into a package called libva-utils01:45
bjsniderthey also put vainfo there01:46
Sarvattbjsnider: have you tried pinging siretart about it?01:46
bjsniderno01:46
bjsnideri just noticed it now01:46
Sarvattlaunchpad is extra slow on this hotel wifi01:47
bjsniderthey've stripped the intel driver out so that will now have to be packaged separately01:47
Sarvattoh didn't know you did a 1.0.14 too01:47
bjsniderthat intel driver is going to become a big issue with sandy/ivy01:48
bjsniderimagine how many linux users will have that chipset within 2 or 3 years01:48
Sarvattfallen out of love with video acceleration here. no GPU can do hi10p h264, everything I watch uses it so creates more headache because nothing falls back to software correctly :(01:51
Sarvattjust when everything started to be encoded at h264 profiles GPU's could accelerate this hi10p crap comes out and ruins it again :)01:52
bjsniderhi10p?01:52
bjsnideroh, 10-bit colour01:55
Sarvattyeah 30 bit color, it looks much better when things are encoded with it and dithered down to 24 bits (especially animated content), can get rid of banding at lower bitrates01:56
Sarvattdget is still trying to download the darn .dsc01:57
bjsnideryou must watch a lot of anime01:57
Sarvattwhat i did was build the two packages, tested it locally with vainfo to see if it works, it did, i assumed they used the actual debian packages and found out later they had their own stuff, was a bonehead move01:58
Sarvattyep01:58
bjsniderit's basically nonexistent on anything else at this point01:58
bjsniderthe change i made was a removed the i965-driver package and added a libva-egl1 package01:59
Sarvatteww, intel one installs to non-multiarch paths too, so glad that failed to build01:59
Sarvattugh, they got rid of libva-x11-1 too, forces vlc to be removed02:02
bjsnideri don't know what the intel packaging is all about, what the story is behind that02:02
Sarvattsomething for their own testing i guess02:03
Sarvattoh, libva was never multiarched?02:08
bjsniderno02:09
bjsniderbut how many libs in oneiric were multiarched?02:09
Sarvatttons and tons and tons02:11
bjsniderthat's not something i'm an expert on02:11
bjsnidermultiarching02:12
bjsnideri thought most of them hadn't been multiarched yet02:14
Sarvattbjsnider: this looks good to me, the *enc binaries might be useful to have packaged but you'd have to talk to siretart about what to name it without risking them naming it something else and screwing up people who install it with your package name :)02:17
bjsniderright02:18
bjsniderlibva-utils sounds appropriate to me02:18
Sarvattbjsnider: http://paste.ubuntu.com/723895/ might be worthwhile since i965 is gone02:18
bjsniderright, i forgot to change that02:19
bjsnidertoo bad it doesn't fail with unknown option, but i guess that's an oversight02:20
Sarvattit would if you built on hurd (haha)02:20
Sarvattoh nevermind it'd just silently keep going02:20
Sarvattmpeg2vldemo shouldn't be installed02:27
bjsniderwhy not?02:27
Sarvattits a test with test videos to use with it that arent shipped, not really useful..02:28
Sarvattwhee it kills compiz too :)02:28
bjsniderit's installed in fedora and rhel and opensuse02:28
Sarvattoh i've been offline that long? lots a crapload of messages.. it looks like mpeg2-I.m2v has to be in the same directory as the binary to do anything, but even then it only pops up a tiny box here02:41
