Two notes: - -Werror is only enabled for CVS; releases have it disabled by default. - http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/faq/html/chapter-cvs.html#werror also shows how easy it is to override the flags. I also don't understand what you mean by selfish here. What's selfish about making sure we catch potential problems as soon as possible when they're easy to fix ? Maybe we're selfish for licensing under the LGPL, requiring people to send back their changes ? This is free software - you are welcome to compile it with any flags you like.
