No, there are no changes in splitting of plugins. OpenSUSE uses an upstream way of splitting (with exception of plugins-good-extra). It might be possible to split each package to more subpackages at cost of some extra dependencies in applications. For example OpenEmbedded creates one package per each module. Such change would be a bit risky and independent on the current change. . Now you are sure, that with just four packages you can play most open formats. In such case, for each new format you would need to install extra package. > I'd like that. Things like that kind of connectivity belongs to the > player-software, not to the audio-framework.

[opensuse-gnome] Alternate meeting time discussion (First meeting of every month)
by Boyd Timothy 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

As many of you know, the first openSUSE GNOME Team Meeting of each month is held at a different time to make it easier for those in Asia, Australia, India, etc. to participate. During one of our previous meetings, the question was asked whether we're really getting the most participation by doing this. There's an open task (http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Tasks) for those living in these areas to discuss the alternatives. If you've got input/suggestions, please reply to this thread in the mailing list. Thanks!

[opensuse-gnome] Face browser for 11.0 GDM?
by Kevin Dupuy 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

I noticed on the GNOME Desktop Policy page (http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Desktop_Policy) and noticed that under GDM, Face Browser was marked as off. Could adding a face browser to GDM in 11.0 as default be an idea? I think that would be a good idea, since it tends to be more intuitive for most users than just a white box ;). -- Kevin "Yo" Dupuy | Public Email: <kevin(a)kevinsword.com> Happy New Year from Yo.media! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] patch upstreaming day(s)
by Rodrigo Moya 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hi As discussed in the last meeting, people seemed to agree on having some joint effort for reducing the amount of patches (see http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Projects/PatchUpstreaming) So, what do people think about having one or two days for joint patch upstreaming. Basically, this would be a 'get our packages and tag/clean/upstream the patches in there', to kick off the patch upstreaming project. Since this is not a real meeting that needs people's attention to IRC all the time, I was thinking we could have next week, like Monday and Tuesday (Jan 28th and 29th) for this. Any comments? -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] gstreamer: packaging changes
by Stanislav Brabec 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

I am just working on packaging changes of gstreamer for OpenSuSE 11.0. The packaging scheme could be applied for the backports as well, because it should include all required provides/obsoletes. Old names in Requires/BuildRequires could still be used, because new packages use split-provides, but using of new names is preferred. OBS gstreamer-0.8 could follow the same conventions and then they can live together on one system. Files inside will remain the same, but packaging will strictly follow library packaging conventions: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223286 gstreamer-0_10: Only core modules. Requires new enough libgstreamer-0_10-0. gstreamer-0_10-utils: Contains versioned binaries. gstreamer-utils: Contains unversioned wrappers. Does not depend on any concrete gstreamer version, but requires gstreamer-utils_versioned virtual symbol. libgstreamer-0_10-0: Shared libraries. gstreamer-0_10-devel: Devel package. gstreamer-0_10-doc: Devel documentation. Plugins packages will follow this naming scheme as well. Please report any problems to me. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
