8:11p	[$] Why Debian returned to FFmpeg Slightly less than one year ago, the Debian community had an extended discussion on whether the FFmpeg multimedia library should return to the distribution. Debian had followed the contentious libav fork when it happened in 2011, but some community members were starting to have second thoughts about that move. At the time, the discussion died out without any changes being made, but the seeds had evidently been planted; on July 8, the project's multimedia developers announced that not only was FFmpeg returning to Debian, but it would be replacing libav. Click below (subscribers only) for a look at how this decision was made. (Comment on this)
