Hi, I don't know if it's of any consequence but libraw1394.so.8 is required by kdebase4-workspace and will become libraw1394.so.11 by next week and there's a change in the way it handles streaming video. It might be a good idea for me to update at the same time as KDF.
It's not a problem. Library version dependencies like the libraw1394.so.8 in rpm -q --requires kdebase4-workspace are added automatically during the package build, not explicitly in the specfile. Therefore when libraw1394.so.11 becomes part of openSUSE Factory, kdebase4-workspace will be rebuilt for it and the new packages will get the new version as a dependency.
I just hope the older 1394 libraries can remain installed at the same time. 1394 has been undergoing an API change as the drivers take advantage of newer asynch notification features in recent kernels. During this time, there will surely be need for both library interfaces. I am not sure how this translates in the various 1394 releases you are discussing, as I am just starting to investigate that myself for my use of firewire cameras. Please direct me to the discussions you refer to. But when you mention a change in how video is streamed, little flags went off here...
The old libraw1394 was patched to enable it to support streaming video, this patch is no longer necessary so there should be an improvement. Maybe you could try installing libraw1394-2.0.5 from the multimedia:libs repository to see if there is a problem, other libraries that use libraw1394 are there and they are all up to date, most of them were before the update. Then the problem can be addressed before libraw1394-2.0.5 goes into factory. From the info I've dug up it's just an interface for the kernel and the existing version is over two years old. The other comforting fact is the upstream maintainer of libraw1394 is listed as an author of the other libs that depend on libraw1394.
