The problem with that is that there are no releases in x264 at the moment. That is, we would have to define what "stable" and "devel" is. Since both are only snapshots of the dev tree on a particular sunny morning, that is somewhat arbitrary. Furthermore, they would conflict anyways. The problems are, x264 is probably the most important library for encoding at the moment, that we need quite recent build of them for the popular transcoding ports (mencoder and a new handbrake release which has yet to be ported) and the fact that PRs requesting its update are undecided for several months now leave me with the impression that we need a maintainer person for it rather than a mailing list. And I would like to take the job as I obviously need it for mencoder. That's the idea. Riggs
