Changing the bug tracker is indeed not an easy task, fixing the current 
one is probably an easier short term solution.
I've never been quite fond of sourceforge, bugtracker included. Maybe 
other forges could be considered, like gitlab or github, but this is 
git, not hg. Maybe freedesktop.org has something to offer ?
Also, is hg still a good choice these days ?


Actually, I was asking because I had an user user reporting an issue 
with vdpau, but I couldn't reproduced it. It was however reproduced by 
someone else. It seems it is not a regression, as both 1.2.9 release and 
a recent snapshot exhibit the issue.
I have not been able to diagnoze the issue so far, but here is the bug 
report in case anyone wants to take a look:

Oh, and thanks for pushing the patches I came up with in the process :-)

Fwiw, I've given a try at rev 14200 yesterday, just basic smoke test, 
works for me.
