Finished the rebuilds locally and currently testing front end applications. Will go in around 5th/6th for Week 18/19 barring delays.

Waiting for upstream to rebase a patch so etcher can be built

I originally symlinked libffmpeg.so in vivaldi-snapshot to remove a confusing console warning that stated H264 support was not enabled when in fact, it was working. Generally it is not necessary to symlink. Abi report to smart enough to add it as a dependency if ffmpeg-chromium is added to builddeps.

You should verify hw accelerated video decoding is still working with mpv or vlc imo as part of the test plan, check cpu usage with software decoding and hardware decoding. Test intel with libva-intel-driver AMD with mesa and nvidia via libva-vdpau-driver

R4229:87d09af5b023. Would prefer if you opened a new task in future with a specific reason for updating it. Regardless, thanks for the reminder to update it.

Update to 71.0.3578.98
Refresh patches

Very likely to be a hardware issue - i.e. not enough shielding for the onboard audio chipset, so noise from the mainboard comes through. I've had this issue for the past two motherboards i've owned in my main desktop rig. Ironically, the higher quality your headphones or speakers the more likely you'll be able to hear random noise.

Abandoning to cleanup phab, my patience has also run thin on compiling this.

Implement PGO hints and improvements from

https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/master/utils/collect_and_build_with_pgo.py

I have a working package for this, however, it requires JDK 9 or later without downloading their bundled Java. Several system packages still require openjdk 8 as we have packaged but we have no way to provide multiple java versions currently, see T6658.

i'll do a build without 32bit support to see if the symbols reappear first. I was hoping to avoid having to use emul32. Additionally, there is new documentation and a script for building PGO clang upstream which gives a few pointers.

Update to 70.0.3538.67
Rebuild against system icu
Usual new patches and rebasing to fix compile errors
Requires a newer harfbuzz

Not exactly happy with upstream with their changes, we might have to switch to repackaging the deb in future but this can go in for now. Such are electron apps. Thanks for figuring out the pain points.

This is a different piece of software different from kdeconnect meant for gnome based environments.

Poking @sunnyflunk for thoughts.

Fixup summary

patch is an empty file just fyi

Relevant bit from r's configure output after adding pkgconfig(tk) to builddeps. If someone has some time to take a look at this, something about our tcl/tk packages is broken.

Thank you so much for this, the api changes were a little too over my head.

widevine is nothing to do with ffmpeg though

You can install in unstable now via linux-tools-turbostat. You should be able install from unstable to stable here if you're using stable.

Cleanup the changelog please - remove mention of architectures which are not relevant such as ARM and avoiding citing specific bug report/pull request numbers.

Please cleanup the changelog - avoid citing specific numbers of bug report numbers or pull requests such as 'Closes #999 and others'. A slightly more detailed testplan would able be appreciated such as tested 'Microphone and Webcam input', 'Tested chat functionality', stuff like that

What's the situation with building this from source once again?
