Description Claudio Roberto França Pereira 2011-06-17 19:41:36 UTC
Title says it all. I know I can install individual plugins by hand, but since meta exists to prevent me from maintaining packages by hand, I think it would be nice to add all plugins under some keyword or another.
Examples:
gst-plugins-jack
gst-plugins-vp8
gst-plugins-x264
gst-plugins-xvid

Reproducible: Always

We don't want to add a ton of USE flags to gst-plugins-meta for every gst plugin available in the tree. On the other hand, we try to add them when any other gst based application in the tree needs some plugin for supporting, for example, VCD.

This bug is WONTFIX as-is, but you can see the usual "procedure" for example taking a look to:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372007

That ended up requesting the addition of a "vcd" USE flag -> http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372157

You can also see how we handle the vp8 plugin case:
