More than 3 years ago upstream said enough is enough and pulled the plug on gst-0_10 branch, and ever since then we the gnome-maintainers have been carrying around the abandoned packages, both because we care and at the time of upstreams kill-off point we had a lot of packages depending on them. Since then we have quietly been porting the ones we care about or dropping them from Tumbleweed. We have however now reached a point where we can not in good conscious say that we care for gst-0_10 at all anymore, and would as a result offer up maintainership of said packages for those that still depend on them / want them to stay in Tumbleweed. Currently osc whatdependson openSUSE:Factory gstreamer-0_10 standard x86_64 gives this list [see end of email] of depending packages. If you as a maintainer are affected, please consider stepping up and requesting maintainer via obs or email. The above said, maintenance burden is not very high currently, so don't fear taking responsibility, it mainly consists of tweaking packages to ensure their continued build. As a maintainer though I'd prefer that we could drop gst-0_10 from TW all the way, but acknowledge that this is not currently possible, but if everyone who have packages still depend on gst-0_10* do a real push to port or drop packages still dependent we could perhaps take the easy route out and just drop gstreamer-0_10. //Bjørn - on behalf of openSUSE GNOME maintainers.

I'll revisit this one. For a "refresh" if needed, please visit this thread https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-05/msg00081.html Since the original mail-thread got us no one stepping up wanting to take over the future maintenance of gst-010, I'll now file delete requests for these packages in Tumbleweed. Note that the packages could stay, but someone needs to take ownership of them.
From most the feed-back I got last, the impression I had was that not much should still rely on gst-010, so lets see how removal will work in a staging.

I know at least one package which very indirectly depends on gst 0.10 - kicad. Although kicad does not depend on any multimedia stuff, it depends on wxPython, namely the wxGTK 2.7.something variant. Although wxGTK itself is split, wxPython is monolithic, i.e. wxPython pulls in *all* of wxGTK.

Slight error, kicad uses wxWidgets 3.0 now, but that still depends on gstreamer 0.10: https://build.opensuse.org/package/binary/openSUSE:Factory/wxWidgets-3_0? arch=x86_64&filename=libwx_gtk2u_media- suse1-3.0.2-6.3.x86_64.rpm&repository=standard Now, there seems to be a patch for GStreamer 1.0 support in the WX bugtracker: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/14976#comment:22 Have not tried ...

/Bjørn -- Zaitor. I see that somebody is already marked as maintainer of multimedia:libs/gstreamer-0_10 so the package can remain until nothing depends on it. Look under the users tab. It's not necessary to delete the packages until they're no longer needed and simply waste space.

Yes Atri kindly stepped up less than an hour ago, so he will now be main maintainer for the gst-010 packages. I still encourage everyone to port their packages still depending on this gstreamer branch. /Bjørn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

ekiga and pidgin do not depend on gst-0_10, so we can at least count those as false matches. I'll be more than happy to file delete requests for the gst-0_10 packages, and get a staging to see for real if anything on the dvd still needs it. //Bjørn Ekiga: - Add macro to allow disabling gstreamer 0.10 dependency and disable it by default (ekiga is pulling gstreamer 1.0 internally) Pidgin: - Remove pidgin-port-to-gst-1.0.patch: added upstream. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It looks like digikam and opencv only use gstreamer 0.10 on openSUSE <= 13.1. libqt4 looks like it only needs gstreamer at all when phonon is built in-tree, which we doesn't appear to do by default. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
