Various questions

[Jean-Michel Pouré]

Dear friends,

Three minor issues:

* I am curious to learn why GTK2 port should rely (ultimately after a
few depencies) on FFMpeg port. Under Debian GNU/Linux, this is not the
case and not the case also on most GNU/Linux systems. So there may be
place for discussion to removal FFmpeg dependency from one GTK2
dependant package.

* Also out of interest, when FFmpeg is required in dependencies and
FFmpeg-devel is installed, why does MacPorts complain? Is there a
workaround. The reason of my question is to add ffmpeg-devel as depency
of MLT, because a  lot of bugs were fixed in FFmpeg-devel (including
Mpeg-2 timestamps, which is crutial for MLT).

* How to become MacPorts maintainer. I checked out the SVN tree. I would
like to apply for maintenance of sox, mlt, gavl, frei0r, ladspa-sdk and
kdenlive. Please contact me if you need my SSH pub key. I manage
kdenlive.org website and you don't have to worry.

Kind regards,
Jean-Michel
