Are we still using this? At least on the GStreamer/GNOME side, we don't anymore.
What replaces it?
There is some integration between rpm, packagekit and gstreamer. GStreamer RPM packages now provide things like "gstreamer0.10(encoder-video/x-gst_ff-snow)()(64bit)", so when a GStreamer app asks for a codec not installed, gstreamer ask packagekit to install the package that provides "gstreamer0.10(encoder-video/x-gst_ff-snow)()(64bit)". It solves the problems with package names being the same in Packman and openSUSE, but providing different things, since you don't ask for "the gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad package" but for the specific codec itself. Yes, it also works in KDE when using the GStreamer Phonon backend. And yes, it would be good to have the same for other backends... The "difficult" part would be create the "find-provides" RPM build script to extract the codec information from the ELF files. Not sure it's even possible with all of them... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
