Hallo.

It would be nice to have a central place for multimedia libraries and codecs.

Nowadays they are spread over many home:*:Factory projects. GStreamer primary development project is even GNOME:Factory and it is frozen in GNOME:STABLE:*, even if it has nothing to do with GNOME release cycle.

It means that it's hard to upgrade multimedia stuff like GStreamer on released products and even test new libraries.

That is why I would like to propose new repository:

multimedia:libs

This repository should contain latest version of multimedia libraries and codecs. It should be preferred Factory devel project for this type of packages. It is not intended for multimedia applications.

It should be built for released products, so other projects can easily resource it if appropriate.

I volunteer to start with my packages and GStreamer.

This problem was discussed several times in past but no action was done yet, that is why I am pinging this again.
