  Description     : HM reference software for HEVC

This software package is the reference software for Rec. ITU-T H.265 |
ISO/IEC 23008-2 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The reference
software includes both encoder and decoder functionality.

Reference software is useful in aiding users of a video coding standard
to establish and test conformance and interoperability, and to educate
users and demonstrate the capabilities of the standard. For these
purposes, this software is provided as an aid for the study and
implementation of Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 High Efficiency
Video Coding.

The software has been jointly developed by the ITU-T Video Coding
Experts Group (VCEG, Question 6 of ITU-T Study Group 16) and the ISO/IEC
Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG, Working Group 11 of Subcommittee 29
of ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1).

The software is maintained by the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET) which
is a joint collaboration of ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG,
Question 6 of ITU-T Study Group 16) and the ISO/IEC Moving Picture
Experts Group (MPEG, Working Group 5 of Subcommittee 29 of ISO/IEC Joint
Technical Committee 1).

If "hm" is too short as a package name, I could name it "hm-hevc" or
something similar.

"hm" is used for automated tests of "kvazaar" (see #1060341), so I
would like to be able to build-depend on the to-be-packaged "hm" from
"kvazaar" to run the tests also during packaging.

I'm planing to maintain the packaging from the Multimedia Team which
I'm already a member of. For the first release I will need a sponsor,
but I'm planning to apply to become a DD in the near future, so
hopefully at that point I can maintain it without external help.
