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.
gobject-introspection from GNOME:Factory requires glib-2.0 >= 2.24.0, openSUSE 11.2 comes with 2.22.4. You know, GNOME:Factory only builds against Factory and $current (so the unconditional use of pkg-config() is justified)... no one forces you to backport to 11.2 if that's too much work. The devel project of python-gstreamer is devel:languages:python. The outdated K:D:F copy shouldn't be there... deletion requested.
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.
I don't see how that would improve anything. Have you asked the other m:l maintainers?
ATM I feel like the only multimedia maintainer, I'm getting an ulcer and I don't get paid.
