[Bf-committers] Problem with precompiled oiio on Arch Linux

[Sergey Sharybin]

OIIO can't actually be recompiled with newer tiff because it's getting
compiled on release environment where tiff isn't actually really new. Also
it will cause problems in older systems like debian.
Precompiled libs were added only for systems where there's no needed
libraries versions available or where it's crappy to compile them
yourself. If you're using some kind of RR distros think it should be pretty
simple to install needed versions from repo or compile them yourself.
It'll be really tricky to compile them in a way that they might be used in
all systems and i'd say if you don;t have problems installing/compiling
libraries yourself, better not to use them.
I also hope to get rid of them totally as soon as most users will switch to
systems where ffmpeg >= 0.8 is installed.
