Dear Tumbleweed users, For the last few months, several people have worked on porting packages dependent on gstreamer v0.10 to updated gstreamer 1.x, and we are left with only a few (unmaintained by upstream?) packages in Factory which are still dependent on the old version and are not portable in a straightforward way. These are (apart from gstreamer-0_10 plugins):
- freqtweak
- ignuit
- kde3-kaffeine
- kdemultimedia3
- libucil
- moodbar
- morituri
- pgadmin3
- psi+-plugins-psimediaplugin
- python-gstreamer-0_10
- sffview
- wxWidgets
- wxWidgets-ansi
- wxWidgets-wxcontainer
- xfce4-mixer
- xfce4-volumed
I would like to now (in a couple of days) file drop requests for the entire gstreamer-0_10 stack for openSUSE:Factory. This is a consequence of the lack of upstream support for gstreamer < 1.0 (GStreamer 1.0 was released on September 24, 2012), which makes, for instance, security issues such as [1] difficult to track and fix. Having this in the Tumbleweed distro is therefore ill-advised.
...the following droprequests have now been filed for openSUSE:Factory

Thanks and best wishes.
I hope you understand that most people are away during the end of year holliday season, and giving only 48 hours to people to react seems to be a bit offensive, in terms of approach, don't you think ?
I would like to dig into pgadmin3 why it would need gst. We don't have any replacement tool for the moment, (pgadmin4 is not 100% ready for use by mass) so we can't simply drop it because of...
But I need free time, which I will only have a bit next week, if nothing goes bad.
Thanks.
