Bug 190900 – GStreamer 0.10 and plugins stabilization bug

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2007-08-31 19:55:59 UTC]

These media-plugins are split ext and sys plugins from gst-plugins-{base,good,ugly,bad}. Current situation is that we have mixed versions in stable, some of them are ancient while it's main component is new. To fix this, mark these stable now or in 30 days.. up to you.

media-libs:

gstreamer-0.10.14 "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86"
gst-plugins-base-0.10.14 "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86"

gst-plugins-pango-0.10.14 "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86"
gst-plugins-sidplay-0.10.6 "sparc"
gst-plugins-speex-0.10.6 "ppc sparc"
gst-plugins-taglib-0.10.6 "amd64 ppc x86"
gst-plugins-theora-0.10.14 "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86"
gst-plugins-vorbis-0.10.14 "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86"
gst-plugins-x-0.10.14 "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86"
gst-plugins-xvideo-0.10.14 "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86"

Surely tests will fail for some or most of these, as they fail 
for current stable also. Not a regression. See bug 140217, Comment #2. 
Also, gst-plugins-base has a nasty -fPIC hack wrt bug 164171 but again, not a regression and got no hardware to test removing it.

Hmm, I agree with your that this should be done, but arches should be warned that you just added gst-p-good on August 30.

Also this patch should really go in..

True, but alternative option is yet again mix version and like you pointed out in bug 190941 it's a really bad idea. I wouldn't want to be a stable gentoo user, using gstreamer at the moment.. ;-)

Got any better reference to the problem? I haven't noticed any Caps related problems, and we don't have bug reports of that.

media-libs/gstreamer:

dodoc: REQUIREMENTS does not exist

All tests pass.

media-libs/gst-plugins-base:

dodoc: TODO does not exist

media-libs/gst-plugins-good:

dodoc: TODO does not exist

media-libs/gst-plugins-ugly:

dodoc: TODO does not exist

Audio output works fine with juk-3.5.7. 

One question: for the rest of the packages, do I simply need to test that they install? I have no idea how to test half of the media-plugins/ stuff.

Everything that comes out of -base, -good or -ugly should havbe unit tests (so FEATURES=test should be enough).

upstream:

22:05 < __tim> well, given that it's been there for years and no one noticed it, I'd say it's not very critical.  Probably only matters if someone is trying to run base/good/ugly/bad CVS against the 0.10.14 core; can't hurt to add it
22:07 < __tim> drac: in that case I'd just add it; it's clearly correct

but, I've still included it (without a revision bump)

was fixed previously, your tree is old (sync)

gst-plugins-a52dec:

Compiles+installs.

gst-plugins-alsa:

Compiles+installs.

gst-plugins-dvdread:

Compiles+installs.

[Comment 8 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2007-09-03 02:39:51 UTC]

Stable for HPPA.

[Comment 9 Jason Switzer 2007-09-03 06:26:44 UTC]

I think bug# 179698 might be of relation.

[Comment 10 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2007-09-06 13:57:56 UTC]

FYI,

This bug needs to be resolved before we can push new FLAC into stable, as current stable gst-plugins-flac isn't compatible.

[Comment 11 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2007-09-09 14:12:51 UTC]

On stable x86,

- All of these passes test suite.
- No file collisions.
- Played various audio and video files without problems.
