This seems to be considered a release, but only available using git:

2013-11-15 v1.3.0 "Forest"
  This release introduces the VP9 codec in a backward-compatible way.
  All existing users of VP8 can continue to use the library without
  modification. However, some VP8 options do not map to VP9 in the same manner.

  The VP9 encoder in this release is not feature complete. Users interested in
  the encoder are advised to use the git master branch and discuss issues on
  libvpx mailing lists.

  - Upgrading:
    This release is ABI and API compatible with Duclair (v1.0.0). Users
    of older releases should refer to the Upgrading notes in this document
    for that release.

  - Enhancements:
      Get rid of bashisms in the main build scripts
      Added usage info on command line options
      Add lossless compression mode
      Dll build of libvpx
      Add additional Mac OS X targets: 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 (darwin11-13)
      Add option to disable documentation
      configure: add --enable-external-build support
      make: support V=1 as short form of verbose=yes
      configure: support mingw-w64
      configure: support hardfloat armv7 CHOSTS
      configure: add support for android x86
      Add estimated completion time to vpxenc
      Don't exit on decode errors in vpxenc
      vpxenc: support scaling prior to encoding
      vpxdec: support scaling output
      vpxenc: improve progress indicators with --skip
      msvs: Don't link to winmm.lib
      Add a new script for producing vcxproj files
      Produce Visual Studio 10 and 11 project files
      Produce Windows Phone project files
      msvs-build: use msbuild for vs >= 2005
      configure: default configure log to config.log
      Add encoding option --static-thresh

  - Speed:
      Miscellaneous speed optimizations for VP8 and VP9.

  - Quality:
      In general, quality is consistent with the Eider release.

  - Bug Fixes:
      This release represents approximately a year of engineering effort,
      and contains multiple bug fixes. Please refer to git history for details.

I have produced libvpx-v1.3.0.tar.xz with directory name convention as in the book (tarball in the book is bz2), after removing .git .gitattributes .gitignore.

Have made a DESTDIR build and am now going to install and test.

Please, comments and/or objections are welcome.

comment:3 by Fernando de Oliveira, 10 years ago

Build and install fine.

It is working fine with ffmpeg, then, tested that ffmpeg builds without problem.

Shall I update the book?

comment:4 by Fernando de Oliveira, 10 years ago

BTW, I did not use

sed -i 's/cp -p/cp/' build/make/Makefile &&
chmod -v 644 vpx/*.h &&

and get:

$ ls -l /usr/include/vpx
total 128
-rw-rw-r-- 1 fernando fernando  4045 Dez  8 08:30 svc_context.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 fernando fernando 12005 Dez  8 08:30 vp8cx.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 fernando fernando  3363 Dez  8 08:30 vp8dx.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 fernando fernando  5108 Dez  8 08:30 vp8.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 fernando fernando 19592 Dez  8 08:30 vpx_codec.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root     root       633 Mai  8  2012 vpx_codec_impl_bottom.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root     root       641 Mai  8  2012 vpx_codec_impl_top.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 fernando fernando 14106 Dez  8 08:30 vpx_decoder.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 fernando fernando 36933 Dez  8 08:30 vpx_encoder.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 fernando fernando 10712 Dez  8 08:30 vpx_image.h

This was uncompressed, built and installed as root. Have checked with an all unprivileged build/DEST-install, only difference is that the two "root:root" are "fernando:fernando".

So, chown is necessary, but I ma not sure about the other two instructions. Going to check Makefile.

Yes:

$ grep 'cp -p' build/make/Makefile
	$(qexec)cp -p $$< $$@

Thus, the sed seems necessary too. But do we need to change 664 into 644 in the installed files?

comment:5 by Fernando de Oliveira, 10 years ago

OK. Just the sed corrected everything, but I get 664, not 644 for the headers under /usr/include/vpx:

$ ls -l /usr/include/vpx
total 120
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root  4045 Dez  8 12:17 svc_context.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 12005 Dez  8 12:17 vp8cx.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root  3363 Dez  8 12:17 vp8dx.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root  5108 Dez  8 12:17 vp8.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 19592 Dez  8 12:17 vpx_codec.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 14106 Dez  8 12:17 vpx_decoder.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 36933 Dez  8 12:17 vpx_encoder.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 10712 Dez  8 12:17 vpx_image.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root  1380 Dez  8 12:17 vpx_integer.h

Hmm, strange that a tarball has not been released yet. Maybe this is a pre-release tag. I can see that at least Arch has added the package, so I guess we could update it too.

The permissions for the header files should definitely be changed to 644.

comment:7 by Fernando de Oliveira, 10 years ago

Resolution: fixed
Status: assignedclosed

OK. Thanks, Ragnar.

I only mentioned the doubt about permissions, because in the thread, the discussion was that the headers had the permission 0640, and it seemed to me that the last "0" was the problem.

Fixed at r12358.
