Yes.

If you follow libdvdnav's development closely, you'll know that they recently switched to use a Git repository at http://git.videolan.org/?p=libdvdread.git;a=summary. The new repo contains many changes that are very valuable, e.g. eliminating crashes and unnecessary asserts. I think it is much better if we use the new repo instead of the December release.

That's why I planned to use Tony's solution in the ticket: ask https://github.com/mirror/mirror to mirror the repo and use GitHub to provide static snapshots that can be used in MXE.

Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to do this lately, but I will as soon as I get a chance. In the meantime anybody with interest in packaging is encouraged to do so.

Not at all.

Thank you for being interested in this wonderful project.
