...perhaps due to the missing libva and libvdpau? I also don't see libpulse. I will try to troubleshoot and send a patch.

OK, it seems that both libva and libvdpau are needed to get the acceleration support. The attached fix_hwaccel.patch adds libva libvdpau the makedepends/depends and removes lzo and mesa from depends since they are already satisfied (per namcap).

Please review.

I don't know but I think that libpulse is needed for the config to add in compile-time options for PA. You did have it in previous versions but if I build with it, namcap complains that it isn't needed. That said, building without it present makes the build unable to find PA:


-- #---- CONFIGURATION ----#
-- -- PATH config --
-- Prefix: /usr
-- Libdir: /usr/lib
...
-- PULSEAUDIO enabled: No

Again, I don't know if that's omitting hardcoded stuff needed for pulseaudio users. I don't use PA.

Note - The other attached file is update.patch which is the same but adds libpulse.

same issue

don't remove first level direct dependencies like lzo or mesa just because another first level dependency brings it in. if its a direct requirement for a feature, explicitly keep it in depends. namcap is nuts regarding this. Otherwise you will always run in such problems whenever dependencies change.
If its a direct dependency -> keep it in depends. ignore namcap in such case.

@anthraxx - Solid advice... I will modify the patch. Is there a direct way to review a set of depends like this? Using namcap is the only tool that does it to my knowledge.

Not that i know of, a packager should have a rough overview, or one could go through direct linked things.

Either way, exactly this namcap stupidity led us here, libvdpau was removed as direct dependency when system ffmpeg came in and was not re-added when switching back (which exactly proves my point and would have avoided this problem).

Version 2:
*adds libva and libvdpau
*keeps direct deps mesa and lzo
*adds libpulse since without it pulseaudio support is disabled

Note that the current PKGBUILD and with the patch has several options unsupported including: ssh and sdl. Is this desired?
