[opensuse-factory] Dropping of gstreamer-0_10 from Factory
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. For Leap starting with 42.3 and beyond, we are, of course, dependent on SUSE for decisions relating to the dropping of gst 0.10, and I understand that it is expected to be maintained at least for the life- times of 42.x releases (please correct me if I am wrong). To summarise, the gstreamer version 0.10.x stack (zypper se gstreamer- 0_10*) will soon be dropped from Factory, which will thereafter only carry upstream maintained stable releases of gstreamer 1.x. If you are a maintainer of any of the above pkgs, please consider patching your app to work with gstreamer 1.x to prevent them from becoming "unresolvable" soon. Thanks for bearing with my long email, and wish everyone a very happy holiday season. Have a lot of fun!

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!

High time it were! Just curious, did you also not see https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-05/msg00084.html from seven months ago? If no one had the time to step up and port the pkgs listed there (and still remaining in the list I sent in my email) for seven months, then I suppose it is simply natural to assume no one cares. That list is much shorter today, in part because some pkgs got fixed to work with gst >= 1.0 by their maintainers/users/whomever. -- Atri Bhattacharya Tue 27 Dec 18:58:33 IST 2016 Sent from openSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It depends on gst-0_10 indirectly, because wxWidgets 2.8 still depends on gst 0.10 (wxWidgets >= 3.0 versions have been patched to work with gst >= 1.0 in openSUSE:Factory).
Hope that helps.
I've seen some distribution using wx3, and just to complicate a bit pgadmin3 is deprecated upstream, but still has got some updates :-) the packaging fight will be interesting ... Well, seems the right time to put a lock on it :-) -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Okay a follow up on that subject, After playing with the spec I was able to build a pgadmin3 first with newer sources, already in server:database:postgresl and then here https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/ home:bruno_friedmann:branches:server:database:postgresql/pgadmin3 I'm in the process to have one build against wxWidget 3.0 which then doesn't depend anymore indirectly to gst 0_10 nor wxWidget 2.8 I was able to cleanup completely my TW and still have a pgadmin3 that works at least for what I'm doing. If anybody else want to give it a try, having at least 2 positive feedback will confort myself to send a sr back to server:database:postgresql Also any contribution is welcomed to fix build errors on other plateform. Disclaimer, I'm not the original author, just trying to save this piece of software until I'm able to have a working and stable pgadmin4 ;-) -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

pgadmin3 is a false positive I'd guess: it's in the list because of wxWidgets. Cheers, Dominique

I guess no.
Are you sure about that? I've got a Tumbleweed installation with
both gnash and gst 0.10, plus a new Leap installation where gnash
pulled in gst 0.10. It's a simple dual boot--I'll check Tumbleweed
the next time I reboot.
