I propose we open a Gstreamer 0.10 removal tracker bug instead. It will give a clear signal we are seeking to actually removing it. We might not be able to do it in the short or mid term but other major distros are targetting this so we can probably achieve it too. Ok that's bug #550648 actually. The problem with gst-plugins-ffmpeg removal is that it makes 0.10 useless in various circumstances where a ffmpeg element is needed for any real functionality. We should look into getting rid of the 0.10 consumers that rely on some ffmpeg/libav element for crucial functionality. That's mostly H.264 video I suppose. I guess we can drag on the rest a bit where it's for audio or other stuff or H.264 isn't crucial support to have. If 0.10 removal can't be fast enough, we should at least try to get the stuff where it's useless without gst-plugins-ffmpeg removed/cleaned to move along outright removal. Though might not be worth the effort and just breaking these things to do anything useful in a H.264 dominant video world by gst-plugins-ffmpeg removal is fine. I would remove the plugin as soon as all the reverse deps with explicit depend on it are cleaned. For the remaining "hidden" reverse deps... well, that would be a good chance to finally catch them... this is exactly the pathway all other distributions have followed with gstreamer:0.10: they killed the ffmpeg plugin long time ago (as it's a hell to maintain), even if they are still providing apps relying on other gstreamer:0.10 stuff as, currently, is impossible to kill all gstreamer-0.10 consumers is there a list of all gst-0.10 reverse deps? (that are in portage tree) This probably does not help, but it may give a better idea of the size of the problem.

The only package depending on gstreamer 0.10 (incl. ffmpeg plugin) on my box is www-client/opera (v.12, ancient one), but I keep it mainly for mail. The general gst-0.10 removal is in bug #550648, this is only for the ffmpeg plugin Looks like there are still versions of gnash that need this, old gst-plugins-meta slot needs this for something and bug 594352 for guayadeque I added this as an ffmpeg-3 blocker (since it causes issues with upgrading to ffmpeg-3, which is now a security issue). Differences in opinion on that are welcome, but I didn't just want to ignore the issue. The compilation bug already had the blocker. Anyhow, # Mart Raudsepp <leio@gentoo.org> (16 Feb 2017) # Old gstreamer 0.10 version, which is security vulnerable. # Use gstreamer:1.0 with media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav # instead (despite the name, it uses media-video/ffmpeg too). # Masked for removal in 30 days.
