Hi all,

Sorry for the cross-post but I want this to have a wide audience.

For the 1.7 release I want to move GStreamer 0.10 from oe-core into
meta-multimedia, and ensure everything in oe-core has ported to
GStreamer 1.x. GStreamer 0.10 is considered dead upstream and is
unmaintained so we don't need to be shipping both versions anymore.

Everyone in agreement? Should I expect any hate mail over this?

+1

The next question is does that mean for the "old" libav (which
gst-ffmpeg
depends upon), do we move that as well or drop it?

libav was migrated to oe-core quite recently and there is couple of
recipes in meta-oe, meta-webserver depending on it/ffmpeg so moving to
meta-multimedia wouldn't be very easy.

meta-multimedia/recipes-multimedia/sox/sox_14.4.0.bb:DEPENDS = "libpng
libav libsndfile1"
meta-multimedia/recipes-mediacentre/xbmc/xbmc_git.bb:DEPENDS = "libusb1

meta-multimedia/recipes-multimedia/musicpd/mpd_0.18.9.bb:DEPENDS =
"alsa-lib libsamplerate0 libsndfile1 libvorbis libogg faad2 ffmpeg curl
sqlite bzip2 pulseaudio" meta-multimedia/recipes-multimedia/vlc/vlc.inc:

meta-oe/recipes-support/opencv/opencv_2.4.bb:PACKAGECONFIG ??= "eigen

meta-oe/recipes-graphics/gegl/gegl_0.2.0.bb:PACKAGECONFIG[avformat] =
"--with-libavformat,--without-libavformat,libav"
meta-oe/recipes-multimedia/libpostproc/libpostproc_git.bb:DEPENDS =
"libav"
meta-oe/recipes-multimedia/mplayer/mplayer2_git.bb:DEPENDS = "libvpx

meta-webserver/recipes-httpd/cherokee/cherokee_1.2.98.bb:PACKAGECONFIG[f
fmpe g] = "--with-ffmpeg,--without-ffmpeg,libav"

But I would like to see migration to libav-9 which currently has
negative
D_P (mplayer2 already depends on 9*, but there are few recipes which
fails
with libav-9 too - see earlier world builds for list).

Yes, I'm just talking about libav 0.8 here - libav 9 would remain where it
is. That might still be problematic though given that their PN is the
same. I'm open to better suggestions, but I think we have to do
*something* here.

Ah ok, I though you meant both versions.

Then I would rather drop 0.8 completely, otherwise it will be preferred
even with negative D_P from meta-multimedia (YOCTO #2964) and we cannot
expect people which happen to have meta-multimedia layer to know that
they are expected to update P_V everytime libav is updated in oe-core.

Hmm. Perhaps a less intrusive solution then would be to create a completely
separate meta-gstreamer0.10 layer for those that still really need it rather
than putting it in meta-multimedia?

Cheers,
Paul
