changes (from the anouncement):
VideoLAN and the VLC development team present the fifth version
of "Twoflower", a major update that fixes a lot of regressions, issues
and security issues in this branch.
It introduces Opus support, improves Youtube, Vimeo streams
and Blu-Ray dics support. It also fixes many issues in playback, notably
on Ogg and MKV playback and audio device selections and a hundred of
other bugs.
pkgsrc note: opus and bluray are not supported yet
DragonFly's file control options aren't fully posix-compliant yet, and
the O_DIRECTORY flag hasn't been implemented (all the flag spots are full
and old ones need to be recycled).
These patches adds additional support checks for each fcntl flag used with
vlc_open and vlc_openat and only sets the supported one. There is no need
to revbump because any platform requiring this check couldn't have built.
