[users] request: update of libmatroska

[Nicolas Thierry-Mieg]

Hello,

recently I have been encountering mkv files that cannot be read with
xine or mplayer from rpmforge.
I noticed that libmatroska (and libebml on which it depends) are at
version 1.0.0 on http://www.matroska.org/downloads/linux.html .
Hopefully these newer versions might allow to view the problematic mkv
files.

I could not try to rebuild these versions myself, because installing the
rf srpm fails although my file does not seem corrupted:

[nthierry at tryo Build]$ rpm -K libebml-0.7.8-1.rf.src.rpm
libebml-0.7.8-1.rf.src.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK
[nthierry at tryo Build]$ rpm -ivh libebml-0.7.8-1.rf.src.rpm
1:libebml warning: user dag does not exist - using root
warning: group dag does not exist - using root
########################################### [100%]
error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/home/nthierry/rpms/Build/SOURCES/libebml-0.7.8.tar.bz2;4ce160a0: cpio:
MD5 sum mismatch

[as a side note: what's the problem here, am I doing something wrong?]

However I looked at some announcements and changelogs and it seems they
should build easily.

Anyone have the skills and time to try to build the newer libebml and
libmatroska?

Thanks!

Regards,
Nicolas

I feel that this is because the SRPM has been (remade) on RHEL6. It might
help to add the option --nofiledigest when extracting.

However I looked at some announcements and changelogs and it seems they
should build easily.
Anyone have the skills and time to try to build the newer libebml and
libmatroska?

I was planning to update all multimedia software and libraries for RHEL6,
which will also touch on the libraries for RHEL5, RHEL4 and others, if
they build find. I hope to have time for this, this or next week. But it
is a lot of work.

(One library, requires rebuilds/updates of other libraries, and you don't
know where exactly it will end :-/)

OK, thanks for the suggestion.

The option seems to be --nodigest but I still get the error.

excellent news!
a few weeks is fine, and yes I can imagine it's a lot of work and not
much fun...
