The main goal is to facilitate really attractive versions of things like GTop, htop, s-tui, etc. I'd written some very substantial NCURSES programs, and found the process unpleasant and the results wanting. The primary goal was making things like https://nick-black.com/dankwiki/index.php/Growlight and https://nick-black.com/dankwiki/index.php/Omphalos look better and be easier to hack on. Neither, you'll note, uses fancy images or video :). So since this is primarily intended as a library fit for arbitrary systems applications, I'd probably want to aim for the "core" repo (assuming that core repo packages can only dep on projects in the core repo). Now, a "notcurses-noffmpeg" version in Core and a "notcurses+ffmpeg" in Fusion seems reasonable.

I remember being impressed by OpenImageIO when I last looked at it (2013 or so).

Got it, so very similar to the "main" vs "non-free" split in Debian, except it looks like FFmpeg ended up on the wrong side of the divide in Fedora :). It looks like GStreamer is in Core, and that would give me video decoding, which would be nice to retain. -- nick black -=- https://www.nick-black.com to make an apple pie from scratch, you need first invent a universe. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
