[opensuse-factory] GSTreamer 1.2 on the horizon

Dear Factory hackers, * GStreamer 0.10 is dead; * Gstreamer 1.0 was released long ago * GSTreamer 1.2 is NOW (released) The differences between GStreamer 1.0 and 1.2 are certainly less than 0.10 to 1.0 introduced. But seeing the new pace it is clear that 0.10 will not see any new developments happening... so openSUSE will have to 'move away from it'. What does that all mean: for openSUSE 13.1: nothing new: we will ship GStreamer 1.0.10 plus also GStreamer 0.10 branch, as several projects were not able to upgrade in time. GST 1.2 was released this week and we did not track 1.1.x branches due to uncertain timelines upstream. An integration at this moment is unrealistic, as the most notable 'developer change' is a full switch to 'one-header only includes' (so only #include will be valid with 1.2). I am sure there is plenty of code in Factory that will break, so we'll hold that one off for 'summer time' (unfrozen Factory). For the next release: We will push for GStreamer 1.2 (or 1.4.. once timelines become known). The GStreamer maintainers (so, essentially the GNOME Team) will assist in fixing 1.0 to 1.2 fallouts as much as we can. but obviously welcome any help otehr pkg / prj maintainers can offer here.
