Re: [opensuse-factory] Re: Dropping of gstreamer-0_10 from Factory
Now that you have done it, VLC cannot be added, and it is the only package that can do all formats. The others are not there yet, so this means another few months while 42.2 is less than useful. I will have to reinstall 42.1 or 13.1 (13.2 never did work for me). On 12/26/2016 11:57 PM, Atri Bhattacharya wrote:

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 * https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/447872 gstreamer-0_10- plugins-base * https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/447873 gstreamer-0_10- plugins-good * https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/447874 gstreamer-0_10- plugins-ugly * https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/447875 python-gstreamer- 0_10 * https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/447876 gstreamer-0_10- plugins-gl * https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/447877 gstreamer-0_10- plugin-crystalhd
Thanks and best wishes.

care to elaborate? I have 42.2 with VLC installed and no *-gst*-0_10* packages around. The same with Factory (which is the topic of this list).
