Hi Barry,
think it is not really desirable to have two major version of such kind of

In the case of streamer it may also be favorable for something targeting
lightweight systems like Puppy to only ship the older version thru a
target package overlay until the last packages eventually migrate to the
newer version.
scsijon,
I see your point of view. If there is a package that we really want to
use, and it has no plans to migrate from gstreamer 0.10 to 1.x.
But, it isn't really necessary for Rene to put it into the official
T2. Well, he could do, but it is only a directory. After checking out
latest t2, just copy my "gst0" folder into "package", or in the target
Ok, I did not image there are so many packages that are reluctant to update to
the new version.
A really sad state of open source though. My impression from the version
numbers was that 0.10 should be kind of Beta - and the new 1.x is the now
stable API for the future, …
Sad to see such disagreement - we indeed better package the old streamer
version then as well, … :-/
I see, no that is not it, :-), 0.10.36 is a stable working release in
it's own right.
Maybe it's best if you considered 0.10.x as being equal to qt3 and 1.x.x
being qt4 (but without the wrapper and internals that qt4 has to deal
with qt3 packages).
It was the logical progression for gstreamer as the internet evolved.
It's just that some packages using gstreamer don't need that step at
present and so are not doing it, they will if and when they in turn need
to evolve to that next stage.
Also don't step 0.10.x to 0.11.x, now !that was the start of the rewrite
for the 1.x.x series now at 1.4.5.
You have my thanks.
