added you as co-maintainer itsfarssen if you want to commit that change please?

v0.13.0-1 fails to build as of Apr 24, 2025.

The fix is to change the following line:

  cargo build --locked --offline --release --all-features

to:

  cargo build --locked --offline --release

I'm not updating to 0.11.0 because it won't compile against ffmpeg 7.0.0.

I am fixing several bugs and will instead update this to 0.11.1 with all the patches.

dreieck added you to maintainers. feel free to adjust. i do not understand why ffmpeg-git should conflict? the goal was to permit both, the git and normal version to be installed in parallel, isn't it?

If you try building it in a clean chroot you'll run into two missing makedepends: ffmpeg cmake

After adding those two it builds successfully.

xdg-utils needs to be added as optional dependency since xdg-open is in the shabeng-line of the .desktop file.

Can you please add ffmpeg-git to the conflicts array?:
