I am just working on packaging changes of gstreamer for OpenSuSE 11.0.

The packaging scheme could be applied for the backports as well, because
it should include all required provides/obsoletes.

Old names in Requires/BuildRequires could still be used, because new
packages use split-provides, but using of new names is preferred.

OBS gstreamer-0.8 could follow the same conventions and then they can
live together on one system.

Files inside will remain the same, but packaging will strictly follow
library packaging conventions:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223286

gstreamer-0_10: Only core modules. Requires new enough
   libgstreamer-0_10-0.
gstreamer-0_10-utils: Contains versioned binaries.
gstreamer-utils: Contains unversioned wrappers. Does not depend on any
   concrete gstreamer version, but requires gstreamer-utils_versioned
   virtual symbol.
libgstreamer-0_10-0: Shared libraries.
gstreamer-0_10-devel: Devel package.
gstreamer-0_10-doc: Devel documentation.

Plugins packages will follow this naming scheme as well.


Please report any problems to me.
