|

| 256 | url="http://www.ffmpeg.org/fate.html"> FFmpeg Automated Testing
|
|---|
| 257 | Environment</ulink> (FATE). First, about 882 MB of sample files used to
|
|---|
| 258 | run FATE are downloaded with the command:

|

| 263 | <para>
|
|---|
| 264 | The <filename class="directory">fate-suite</filename> directory is
|
|---|
| 265 | created and the files are downloaded there. That command actually runs an
|
|---|
| 266 | rsync command, to obtain the sample files. You may want to compress and
|
|---|
| 267 | keep this directory for testing again, in another system, or when a new
|
|---|
| 268 | version of ffmpeg is launched. Then, you unpack the sample files in the
|
|---|
| 269 | source directory, and run, again, the <command>make fate-rsync
|
|---|
| 270 | ...</command> command above, to sync with the repository. Now, the
|
|---|
| 271 | download size and time are drastically reduced. Estimated values in
|
|---|
| 272 | "Package Information" do not include the download SBU. Some samples may
|
|---|
| 273 | have been removed, in the new version, so, in order to be sure local and
|
|---|
| 274 | server fate samples are identical, when you use previous samples, run the
|
|---|
| 275 | following command:
|
|---|
| 276 | </para>
