I don't know anything about ffmpeg codebase, but I just wonder... how would I go about doing this _slowly_ without completely doing a giant commit that changes everything?
The presentation says it's 700 commits. Was that a separate branch? Or was it slowly merged back to the project?
Well I can look at github I guess
- shp0ngle 3y agoIt seems ffmpeg uses the mailing list patch way of doing "PRs", which is... well it is what it is. It doesn't help me understand the process unless I just go through all the mailing list archives, I guess.
- asylteltine 3y agoUgh why? That is so old school
- _joel 3y agoLike the linux kernel?
- asylteltine 3y agoWhich is also archaic and old school
- shp0ngle 3y agoI mean they might be used to doing that as ffmpeg is predating github. (and git.) as long as it works for them...
