I am just working on packaging changes of gstreamer for OpenSuSE 11.0. Best Regards / S pozdravem,

So, it's possible to install gstreamer (basic-necessities) without requieries to samba-libs/client or usb-media-player-libs?

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.

Please let me know, which dependencies seems superfluous to you exactly.

So far the 'new' packaging works better for me than the OSS-10.3 version.

Thanks.

Question: What kind of 'plugins' are there already? the seen nameing in Factory isn't nice: look at 'gstreamer' for 'Factory' in webpin or <http://packages.opensuse-community.org/index.jsp?searchTerm=gstreamer&distro=SUSE_Factory> just what is in gstreamer010-plugins-good / gstreamer010-plugins-bad / gstreamer010-plugins-ugly for all the seen text is 'GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework Plug-Ins' wouldn't make gstreamer010-plugins-codec-mpeg, gstreamer010-plugins-codec-flac, gstreamer010-plugins-jack, etc make more sense? I'm asking, NOT demanding. But maybe it would be easier to select what plugins you as user (not with insde knowlege) need to get the job done.
