Re: Status of RPM Fusion for EL

I've been doing some research and RHEL-5.3 is going to muddy the water here. 5.0 -> 5.2 have gstreamer + gstreamer-plugins-base at 0.10.9, RHEL-5.3 moves those to 0.10.20. So for RHEL-5.3 we can and I guess should be shipping a much newer gstreamer-plugings-*, but we dont have any way todo that. So we have 2 options: 1) Use old gstreamer-plugins-* as base, which are known to work with gstreamer + gstreamer-plugins-base 2) Try to use new gstreamer-plugins-* as base and patch them where they rely on new gstreamer + gstreamer-plugins-base exported functions to do things the old way. This also has the problem, that some plugins have moved from bad -> good, and those are not in the old good. We can then just forget about those, or do a gstreamer-plugins-good-extras with them in. Neither way is going to be pretty nor easy. Regards, Hans
