[packman] gstreamer, codec autoinstallation and Packman
I still have not 11.4 installed. But it's my understanding that in this version openSUSE implemented the Fedora's gstreamer-rpm-packagekit integration that makes codecs automatically installed*. But comparing https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=gstreamer-0_10project=multimedia%3Alibs with http://pmbs.links2linux.org/package/files?package=gstreamer010project=Essentials it seems Packman lacks the needed provides? detrei is bugowner and maintainer, most of the changelog is from toni, but Pascal did most of the commits in the new BS. Who is the maintainer then? He has any problem with me starting to substitute Packman's versions with links to the OBS? * it's really good, codecs supported by a package are extracted by RPM and provided by the package. So if an user needs H.264 support it will get the Packman package even if there is an openSUSE version with the same name (since the openSUSE version will not provide gstreamer(h264), or whatever is used) ___ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman

The question is how this works for older distributions... ? (and why on earth no one told us about it...) Thanks for spotting that! Let's wait for an ACK from Detlef and Toni on this one. That being said, we could very well _link to the OBS packages for most gstreamer packages, except the ones we only have on Packman. But it remains to be seen whether those packages build fine on older distributions as well, as it is very frequent for packagers in build.o.o to not bother much about those. cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf pgpCYMvkXbBSd.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman

I'm too lazy to reflect all changes made to gstreamer packages for every new SuSE version in the OBS making it incompatible to the packman package. The past shows that the OBS package was often changed without contacting or discussing the differences with me, resulting in a different package layout and leading to a lot of problems. To avoid future problems simply link to OBS. cheers -- have fun Toni ___ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
