-Title: ffmpeg/libav conflict management: USE=libav
-Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>

-The support for automatic choice between ffmpeg and libav is going to be
-deprecated in favor of explicit choice via USE flags. This change aims
-to solve multiple repeating issues, including Portage undesirably
-wanting to replace one package with the other, lack of proper reverse
-dependency on ffmpeg/libav upgrades and some of the hard-to-understand
-upgrade failures involving blockers. It also may be used to make ffmpeg
-and libav co-installable in the future.
-
-The current USE=ffmpeg will maintain its role of enabling optional
-support for ffmpeg or a compatible implementation (libav) in a package.
-However, whenever appropriate additional USE=libav will be introduced to
-control the preference of one implementation over the other.
-
-Users who currently use libav need to enable USE=libav in
-/etc/portage/make.conf. It should be noted that users still need to
-enable USE=ffmpeg on packages with optional libav support as well.
-Users who currently use ffmpeg need to take no action.
-
-Please also note that some packages support only one of the two
-implementations. An attempt to install one of those packages may result
-in blockers requiring the user changes the global USE=libav state.
-
-Please do not alter the state of 'libav' flag on a per-package basis
-(e.g. via package.use). The flag needs to be set globally to have
-consistent value throughout all packages. Otherwise, blockers will
-prevent upgrades.
