As of recently, ffmpeg is built from a svn snapshot and the pkgver is currently set to a date string. However, svn uses increasing and more meaningful revision numbers, so why not use it instead as package version?


ffmpeg 20100108-2

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  it was choosed like so, maybe on the next iteration we will use svn revision version. you can actually find what revision is with ffmpeg --version
