Maintaining such package would require keeping watch for any new files you'd need to include and going through legal review each time you do. IMO it's much less work to just maintain everything that depends on FFmpeg in RPM Fusion. If you're determined, however, you could start with what Chromium does: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/chromium/blob/rawhide/f/clean_ffmpeg.sh Feel free to flag me for package review. I one of the maintainers of the ffmpeg package in RPM Fusion. Regards, Dominik -- Fedora https://getfedora.org | RPM Fusion http://rpmfusion.org There should be a science of discontent.
