[opensuse-factory] Proposal for gstreamer
I now know why I've stayed away from maintaining gstreamer. It's members are strewn across from multimedia:libs to kde. I'm trying to get the < 11.4 members to build, first problem was no gobject-introspection was new enough, I aggregated it from GNOME:Factory but no 11.2 rpms so I've linked it. Next somebody put pkg-config() s in the Buildrequires of a few packages without a suse_version conditional to take care of 11.2, see opensuse-kde mail subject "Gstreamer update (opensuse+packman) break pulseaudio on 11.2 / 4.4.4 Stable" this is when I discover python-gstreamer lives in kde. My proposal is take gstreamer out of multimedia and (I see GNOME:Factory already has it) move it to where somebody cares about it in kde. ATM I feel like the only multimedia maintainer, I'm getting an ulcer and I don't get paid.

You could also found a new, separate devel project that only contains the gstreamer components. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I'm not quite sure why you want to move to KDE projects packages that are maintained by the GNOME team ;-) More seriously: gst-rtsp extends gstreamer, so it should really just live with gstreamer, imho. Note that if you prefer to ignore gstreamer when maintaining m:l, it's fine: at least the GNOME team is actively maintaining the packages for Factory, and various other people have contributed to it in the past (to fix issues on older distributions, or to build new plugins, eg).

I've noticed that you maintain them, tell me why does python-gstreamer-0_10 live in kde4? gst-rstp should be with it in gnome as it depends on at least one gnome package and afaics no kde specific ones, if it's needed specifically for kde4 then kde4 should link to it. btw I've just updated plugins-bad, I'll put instructions in the spec file on how to use the pre_checkin. I think the only thing that really bothered me was the hermes spam from the < factory packages failing, I've solved that by disabling the build for them. Gstreamer packages that depend on mostly mmlibs packages should stay where they are.

No idea. I believe various packages are linked in the KDE projects, because they are needed for backports, so that could explain it.
I guess you mean vala, gobject-introspection or python-gobject? Why is it bad?

Quoting Dave Plater <davejplater@gmail.com>:
The latest releases moved some plugins around, so the missing files might pop up in a different plugin set now.. Make sure to carefully read the release notes: such changes are typically mentioned by the devs. If it's too much for you, just leave the gst packages and we'll take care of them (prioritized for Factory normally... that's where we want them most) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes. Which is why I asked darix^Wthe autobuild team to not accept the new gstreamer and gstreamer-plugins-base at the moment: it's all or nothing. Another reason to update them all at once is that upstream tests all the new versions together, but not a mix of old and new versions. So we might get interesting bugs if we have a mix.
