While I have no general idea how a library becomes "checked", I have followed one simple rule: If it builds and everything else that uses it builds fine against it, it's working fine and I mark it as checked. I use soundtouch with both gstreamer-1.0 and gstreamer-0.10 and have had no problems. I believe that in the past Totem explicitly looked for the gstreamer module that was built when soundtouch was present or it wouldn't build at all. Not sure if that's the case today. As for cheese, it never stopped working for me. But still, I build (almost) all dependencies for GStreamer and plugins, Required, Recommended, Optiona, in Book or External - no matter. I believe that it may require v4l-utils to be present before building gst-plugins-good-1.0 so you could get a gst module to properly receive input from your camera and that one is not in the book. At least last time when we were debugging it this turned out to be the case. As for wv, since it also provides a linkable library which AbiWord uses and given that AbiWord works fine (for me) I can't think of anything but to mark it as checked. Marking something as checked just because it has a testsuite and everything regarding it passes, yet it doesn't fulfill the things mentioned above may be "needed, but not sufficient" condition. > multimedia/libdriv/alsa-plugins.xml: &lfs76_built; > multimedia/libdriv/alsa-oss.xml: &lfs76_built; > multimedia/libdriv/alsa-firmware.xml: &lfs76_built; > multimedia/libdriv/alsa-tools.xml: &lfs76_built; I use alsa-plugins every day so I can forward all alsa to pulse. I have used alsa-oss on some occasions where an old app (a game of some kind) required OSS. alsa-oss has a wrapper aoss that preloads some shared libs which trick the app into thinkink that OSS environment exists and they play they sound properly. The equivalent for pulseaudio is padsp I think. Both worked fine for me. > x/installing/x7driver-fbdev.xml: &lfs76_built; > x/installing/x7driver-vmmouse.xml: &lfs76_built; > x/installing/x7driver-r128.xml: &lfs76_built; > x/installing/x7driver-sis.xml: &lfs76_built; > x/installing/x7driver-cirrus.xml: &lfs76_built; > x/installing/x7driver-openchrome.xml: &lfs76_built; > x/installing/x7driver-vmware.xml: &lfs76_built; > x/installing/x7driver-mga.xml: &lfs76_built; > x/installing/x7driver-tdfx.xml: &lfs76_built; > x/installing/x7driver-wacom.xml: &lfs76_built; > x/installing/x7driver-savage.xml: &lfs76_built; > x/installing/x7driver-mach64.xml: &lfs76_built; > I have tested vmware and fbdev drivers under VMWare Virtual Machine and they worked fine. > > I have no problem with leaving the x7driver and alsa packages as _built > because they would require specific hardware that we don't have or are > quite specialized. > > ------- > > I did check wv against a .docx file: > > wvSummary VMWARE_receipt_Key.docx > Problem with getting metadata from VMWARE_receipt_Key.docx:No OLE2 > signature > > but we are probably more concerned with the libwv-1.2.so library.
