[opensuse-factory] Is opensuse-codecs-installer maintained?
Hello, is opensuse-codecs-installer maintained? osc maintainer says Aaron Bockover is the maintainer, however a bug was assigned away from him by "autobugz" which probably means he is no longer working for Novell... BTW: Whoever the current maintainer is - fixing bug 437368 would be nice ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Gerade in Firmen sind die internen Passwörter der Mitarbeiter oft nicht den Klebezettel wert, mit dem sie an den Monitorrand gepappt wurden.

Are we still using this? At least on the GStreamer/GNOME side, we don't anymore. Anything else depending on it? Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

That's an interesting question. # osc whatdependson openSUSE:Factory opensuse-codecs-installer \ standard i586 # same for 11.4 and 11.3 opensuse-codecs-installer : (nothing) for 11.2 and DISCONTINUED:11.1: opensuse-codecs-installer : openSUSE-images This means opensuse-codecs-installer was probably never required by proper dependencies in any package, and also means the question what depends on it can't be answered automatically :-( I'm sure I got the opensuse-codecs-installer-dialog with some KDE application (Amarok? Kaffeine?) on 11.1... -> can one of the KDE maintainers please check if it is still used by any KDE apps?

Thanks, Dirk
On the KDE side codecs are supposed to be installed automatically when you first try to play a file that needs the codec. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

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

I believe PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin replaces it. Gabriel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
