Hi Gwenole,

which libva version is currently the most up to date, libva-1.0.12 from
freedesktop.org or is your libva_0.32.0-1+sds2.tar.gz still better when
building a libva for a distro package (which means with the widest and
most up to date hardware support)?

Also are any of your patches from
http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/libva/patches/
still relevant for libva-1.0.12 from freedesktop.org?

Thanks in advance for any clarification!
