[opensuse-kde] misleading gstreamer-0_10-plugins-qt package
Hi, With SR#126198 (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/126198), the qt- gstreamer package was removed from KDE:Qt and seemingly replaced with multimedia:libs/gstreamer-0_10-plugins-qt. IMO, this was a bad decision: qt-gstreamer is not a gstreamer set of plugins but « [...] a set of libraries and plugins providing C++ bindings for GStreamer with a Qt-style API plus some helper classes for integrating GStreamer better in Qt applications. » Sounds to me that KDE:Qt was a wiser choice for this package. Moreover, the new package name is confusing, there's no relation between some Qt bindings for GStreamer and the others gstreamer-0_10-plugins-* packages from multimedia:libs. Thoughts ? Christophe

Sounds to me that KDE:Qt was a wiser choice for this package.
Moreover, the new package name is confusing, there's no relation between some Qt bindings for GStreamer and the others gstreamer-0_10-plugins-* packages from multimedia:libs.
Thoughts ?
Notice that it actually provides some plugins (video sinks): - gstreamer0.10(element-qtglvideosink) - gstreamer0.10(element-qtvideosink) - gstreamer0.10(element-qwidgetvideosink) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
