On a recent episode of Linux Unplugged (http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/107166/aws-loses-its-shiot-lup-186/), there was mention of removing gstreamer-0.10, because v1.10 can replace pretty much all its functionality and the former is very buggy and no longer maintained. Some have reported noticeable improvements in the smooth running of the system after doing so. See this post: https://forum.antergos.com/topic/5975/gstreamer0-10-packages-moved-to-aur/9 I recently did a fresh Leap 42.2 installation and it's pushing my old laptop's resources to the limit compared to 13.1, plus Firefox has begun crashing regularly, so I thought I'd have a go at removing gstreamer-0.10. Has anybody here noticed any benefits or other effects of doing so? On a more technical note for package maintainers, I've not yet succeeded since YaST threw up some conflicts. Specifically, it wanted to remove 'wammu', a program for managing mobile phone data. I had a reply from the wammu mailing list suggesting the openSUSE 'python-wxWidgets' packages that wammu uses may be at fault in incorrectly requiring gstreamer-0.10, which is apparently not the case in Debian. Could somebody check that? Here's what YaST spits out. Note that I tried updating wammu to an alternative version from a non-official repo, but the result is the same. #### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2017-03-04 00:23:01 #### libgstreamer-0_10-0-0.10.36-16.2.x86_64 requires gstreamer-0_10, but this requirement cannot be provided [ ] Following actions will be done: deinstallation of libgstreamer-0_10-0-0.10.36-16.2.x86_64 deinstallation of gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3-21-2.1.x86_64 deinstallation of gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base-0.10.36-14.6.x86_64 deinstallation of gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-0.10.31-16.30.x86_64 deinstallation of gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-0.10.23-27.1.x86_64 deinstallation of gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-0.10.19-18.2.x86_64 deinstallation of gstreamer-0_10-plugin-esd-0.10.31-16.30.x86_64 deinstallation of gstreamer-0_10-plugins-ugly-orig-addon-0.10.19-18.2.x86_64 deinstallation of libgstphotography-0_10-23-0.10.23-26.3.x86_64 deinstallation of libgstcodecparsers-0_10-23-0.10.23-26.3.x86_64 deinstallation of libgstbasevideo-0_10-23-0.10.23-26.3.x86_64 deinstallation of libgstbasecamerabinsrc-0_10-23-0.10.23-26.3.x86_64 deinstallation of libgstinterfaces-0_10-0-0.10.36-14.6.x86_64 deinstallation of libgstapp-0_10-0-0.10.36-14.6.x86_64 deinstallation of gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-extra-0.10.31-16.30.x86_64 deinstallation of gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-lang-0.10.23-27.1.noarch deinstallation of gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base-lang-0.10.36-14.6.noarch deinstallation of gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-lang-0.10.31-16.30.noarch deinstallation of libwx_gtk2u_media-suse1-3.0.2-7.18.x86_64 deinstallation of libgstsignalprocessor-0_10-23-0.10.23-26.3.x86_64 deinstallation of libgstvdp-0_10-23-0.10.23-26.3.x86_64 deinstallation of python-wxWidgets-3_0-3.0.2.0-3.3.x86_64 deinstallation of wammu-0.43-42.1.noarch deinstallation of python-wxWidgets-3_0-lang-3.0.2.0-3.3.x86_64 deinstallation of wammu-lang-0.43-42.1.noarch [x] keep gstreamer-0_10-0.10.36-16.2.x86_64 [ ] break libgstreamer-0_10-0-0.10.36-16.2.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies #### YaST2 conflicts list END ### -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
