  • Bug#1106108: unblock: vlc/3.0.21-10

    From Sebastian Ramacher@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 19 20:00:01 2025
    XPost: linux.debian.devel.release

    Package: release.debian.org
    Severity: normal
    X-Debbugs-Cc: vlc@packages.debian.org, sramacher@debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:vlc
    User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
    Usertags: unblock

    Please unblock package vlc

    [ Reason ]
    The latest upstream removes three plugins that are no longer supported
    upstream [1][2][3]. No functionality is removed, as the avcodec has
    higher priority to handle these formats anyway.

    [ Impact ]
    We continue to include plugins in the stable release that are no longer supported that are unused.

    [ Tests ]
    None, as testing would end up using the avcodec plugin anyway.

    [ Risks ]
    The change is easy to revert in case of regressions.

    [ Checklist ]
    [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
    [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
    [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

    unblock vlc/3.0.21-10

    Cheers
