* doc/developer: remove merge request method of contributingLou Logan2018-04-061-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | This seems to confuse Github users into thinking that we may accept pull requests. We do not accept pull requests. Sending patches to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list is our preferred method for users to contribute code. Signed-off-by: Lou Logan <[email protected]>

* doc/developer: revise mailing list sectionJim DeLaHunt2017-12-051-4/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Developer Documentation had instructions to subscribe to the ffmpeg-cvslog email list. But that is no longer accurate. For the purposes in this section -- review of patches, discussion of development issues -- ffmpeg_devel is the appropriate email list. Some developers may want to monitor ffmpeg-cvslog, but it is not mandatory. This is v3 of this doc, based on discussion in thread <https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-November/220528.html> and in response to docs Maintainer comments in <https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-December/221596.html>. 1. In doc/developer.texi, add a new section about ffmpeg-devel, based on existing text from ffmpeg-cvslog section regarding discussion of patches and of development issues. Reflect wording from discussion at <https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-November/221199.html> but with copy-editing to make wording more concise. 2. In doc/developer.texi, rewrite the ffmpeg-cvslog section to match the current usage of ffmpeg-cvslog. Some developers choose to follow this list, but it is not mandatory. There are a lot of improvements possible to the Developer Documentation page, beyond this refactoring. However, making those improvements is a much bigger and more difficult task. This change is "low hanging fruit". Signed-off-by: Jim DeLaHunt <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Timothy Gu <[email protected]>
* doc: reorganize developer.texi chapter hierarchyJim DeLaHunt2017-12-021-27/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the Developer Documentation <ffmpeg.org/developer.html> contained a single chapter, "1. Developer Guide," with all content under that single chapter. Thus the document structure was one level deeper and more complicated than it needed to be. It differed from similar documents such as /faq.html, which have multiple chapters. Eliminate the single chapter, and promote each section underneath to chapter, and each subsection to section. Thus content and relative structure remains the same, but the overall structure is simpler. Anchors within the page remain the same.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the currently semi-public avpriv_aac_parse_header() function private to libavcodec and adds a proper public API function to return the parts of the ADTS header required in libavformat.
