Hello all,
I see that some GStreamer packages have been outdated, attached you can find the PGKBUILD's with upgraded version and some other modifications detailed below.
(Coudn't find if this is already discused) I also had a question about the gst-plugins-base/good/bad/ugly packages. I see that they are now split-up in 2 packages (ex: gstreamer0.10-base and gstreamer0.10-base-plugins). The second one contains the plugins depending on external libraries and the first one contains libraries and plugins without external dependencies.
Typically a user has all gstreamer plugins installed, or at least he is using some plugins from every package. So I propose that we also merge these 2 plugins to make it easier to maintain and match upstream packages.
Does this sound logic or do I miss something?
Changes to PKGBUILD: gstreamer0-10: 0.10.24 - disable tests and examples gstreamer0.10-base and plugins: 0.10.24 - only LGPL - bump depends versions gstreamer0.10-python: 0.10.16
First of all, I will change gstreamer to use the split package possibilities that pacman 3.3 gives us. Second, you can't relicense this to LGPL only, the cdparanoia plugin links to cdparanoia, which is GPL. This makes the plugin GPL also.
Apparently the GStreamer community asked [1] to cdparanoia developers to change the license to support LGPL, as this is the license used in core/base/good. This is from release 10.1 and we are using 10.2, so I think it is fine to say now that base is fully LGPL compatible now.

Are you making any progress with the GStreamer packages ? Don't want to put you under pressure :-) but there are some new upstream packages that depend on the newer upstream gstreamer versions (like pitivi). Or is it possible to have the unsplit updated packages like the ones I send, until the new split packages are ready? Thanks, Thijs
