Details
Description:
The liba52 library prints unneeded messages to stderr, and this is spammy and annoying (at least when developing the Pitivi video editor, because I have to pay attention to the console). I see this has been fixed already in Dec 2002 (!), see http://liba52.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/liba52/a52dec/liba52/imdct.c?r1=1.26&r2=1.27 Unfortunately they did not make any new release since July 27, 2002; from what I see on the development list, the project is deserted, so I don't think they'll make any new release soon. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=liba52-devel It would be nice to pick this particular patch (linked above, the removal of two fprintf lines) and apply it to Archlinux's a52dec package. Steps to reproduce: - Start Pitivi from the command line, - create a new project, - add MTS files to the project, - notice the console spammed with "No accelerated IMDCT transform found". |

package.

I created an updated PKGBUILD and an added patch file stderr.patch
which removes the two stderr lines in that code the developer
fixed back in 2002... All that needs to be done is the patch file
added and the PKGBUILD that applies the patch used. Everything
builds fine.
