Description Philippe Didier 2012-11-02 20:21:49 CET 
Description of problem:

ffmpeg can now (since july 2012) use libfdk-aac that will replace libvo_aacenc

It always need to be built in tainted for this (patent problem)

When libfdk-aac is provided in Mageia its spec file will need to be modified :

only one line to change in the spec file
line 304 --enable-libfdk-aac instead of --enable-libvo_aacenc

Comment 1 Christiaan Welvaart 2014-11-26 08:20:38 CET 
The libfdk-aac license is a bit strange (vague), ffmpeg classifies it as incompatible with GPL(v3).

Comment 2 Samuel Verschelde 2016-10-15 21:26:11 CEST 
Assigning to ffmpeg maintainer Shlomi Fish, but that license issue needs to be sorted out first. If it's not good, we could just close the request as wontfix.

Comment 3 Shlomi Fish 2016-10-16 10:22:17 CEST 
Closing as WONTFIX due to the licence problem - see https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC . Sorry!

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX

Comment 4 Philippe Didier 2019-03-02 15:26:23 CET 
The licence problem seems to have been solved since fdk-aac is now in RpmFusion non-free for Fedora and in non-free for Debian and for Opensuse too

Resolution: WONTFIX => (none)
Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED

Comment 5 David GEIGER 2019-03-03 19:03:36 CET 
Fixed! ffmpeg compiled against fdk-aac

Status: REOPENED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
