ffmpeg: upgrade to release version 0.5

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

After a long wait, the ffmpeg developer team has finally released version 0.5.

Based on this fact and the promise of at least one more release to come, the attached Portfile and associated patch files, implement a proposed revision to this port to revert to a release numbering scheme instead of the current svn version (port ffmpeg-devel will remain a recent svn development version.)

Features:

• revert to release numbering for version number incrementing epoch to 1 to ensure proper version comparison
• update description and long description.
• add speex capability via port speex-devel (variant +speex)
• all other supported codecs are enabled by default
• livecheck is re-enabled
• these files completely replace the previous ones which can be deleted.

Proposed new Portfile

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Note that the libavcodec that is built by the updated port is not ABI compatible with the previous version and so ports that depend on ffmpeg will need to have their revision numbers incremented to force a rebuild against the new library version (52).

As far as I can tell the effected ports are

• gegl
• gnupod +aac
• libdlna
• libquicktime
• moc
• sox
• transcode
• xine-lib
• mediatomb

Other ports that use ffmpeg functionality have their own (usually old) copy embedded

• gimp-gap
• gst-plugins-ffmpeg

etc
