Comment(by pierre.labastie):
Replying to [comment:2 Krejzi]:
> While gobject-introspection is not a big dep to anything that requires
glib, I am against making it recommended for gstreamer packages. Why? It's
gnome which requires gobject-introspection, but it's not just gnome which
uses gstreamer. There is KDE's phonon (gstreamer backend) which uses it as
well, but does not need gobject-introspection for anything. Most people
will install recommended dependencies, so will your scripts, but g-i is
not always necesary for gstreamer. There is a note at gstreamer and
gstreamer base plugins page about gobject-introspection and I think it is
enough.
My point was that since pango is required for gstreamer base plugins and
g-i is '''recommended''' for pango, g-i is ''de facto'' '''recommended'''
for gstreamer plugins (and so for gstreamer), but could have been built
after gstreamer, which makes the plugins build fail. Of course, if you
build gnome, you do not have that problem, because as Ken said, g-i would
be built much earlier. But in the case of KDE, I think people building it
for the first time would end doing what I do.
Of course, another solution would be to put g-i as just an optional dep
for pango...
