| If you would like, I could help sponsor you for *Fedora* packaging | |
| because it seems it will be beneficial for RPMFusion too. They both | |
| use the same set of guidelines and process/tools for the most part. | |

| You could use those Perl modules a starting package submissions for | |
| Fedora. | |
| I might even join RPMFusion myself... | |

The surveillance industry has fully adopted h264 as the standard, which means that ffmpeg support is required if zoneminder is expected to support modern surveillance cameras. Looking further ahead, the ZoneMinder development team wishes to replace aging features, such a cgi scripts, with either ffserver or another streaming server that will likely have ffmpeg/h264 dependencies. I don't expect this to happen soon, but when it does that would mark the end of road for life in the Fedora repo. | |

I simply need to take the time to reach out to them and attempt to join their team if needed. If you happen to know anyone over there and can get me in touch, that would be wonderful. | |
