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
- https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/447869 gstreamer-0_10
- https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/447871 gstreamer-0_10-> plugins-bad

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.
I've grouped all these delete requests in a staging project, and locked some of them by added the additional review to Dominique and me, we have to check how many packages are effected and let people have time to fix them if it's possible...or continue to discuss this change. Therefore these requests will not merge into Factory this year at least, so Happy New Year!
