Welcome to the Funtoo Media project! This project is focused on curating various types of media support in Funtoo. By 'media', we are generally referring to all the media-related packages in media-kit (both 1.4-release and next) as well as potentially some packages that should be in media-kit, plus the media-related multi-profiles.
Goals
The goal of the Funtoo Media project is to provide essential functionality related to media support in Funtoo Linux, and to curate/maintain the media packages.
What Is Considered 'Media'
Media packages can include:
- Audio
- audio frameworks, libraries and APIs
- audio formats and codec support
- 'essential' audio playback applications
- Video
- AV frameworks, libraries and APIs including gstreamer
- video formats and codec support
- 'essential' video playback applications
- Graphics
- Bitmap/vector graphics format frameworks, libraries and APIs
- Photo-related support libraries (RAW, EXIF)
- 'essential' graphics applications such as Imagemagick
- Hardware
- Libraries related to accessing commercial media such as CD, DVD, Blu-Ray Disc
- Media-oriented libraries and protocols for such functionality (such as Firewire)
- Typography
- Core font libraries
- Core font selection in Funtoo
What Is Not (Yet) Considered 'Media'
This section documents things that are not yet officially supported in media-kit and Funtoo, along with guidance on how to handle them.
- PipeWire
- PipeWire (aka
media-video/pipewire, also see PipeWire on Gentoo Wiki) is not yet officially supported in Gentoo or Funtoo. There are several ebuilds that optionally depend on PipeWire. This is OK. If your ebuild can use PipeWire, it should conditionally depend on it via aUSEvariable, and this functionality should default to off by default. Also of note is that the various things that depend on PipeWire in Funtoo/Gentoo sometimes have differentUSEvariables, generally focused on the name of the feature enabled, rather than aUSEvariable ofpipewire.
