GStreamer 1.18.2 released

[Comment 2 inasprecali 2021-01-07 18:57:45 UTC]

Bump.  Some of the current plugins, such as gst-plugins-libav, fail to build against current ffmpeg development builds.  Please update.

related gst-plugins-libav and ffmpeg-9999:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-libav/-/issues/85
Please advice these developers to do something.
If there was a new release of ffmpeg, more people would be angry about that or find a solution.

I use
EGIT_OVERRIDE_COMMIT_FFMPEG="87f0c8280c7556b52b72b9379547eed77e9810d7"
for emerge ffmpeg.
That was the last commit before the commit that causes gst-plugins-libav to fail build.

gstreamer-1.18.3 released...

We even don't have gstreamer-1.16.3 in the tree which has some security fixes.
Soon gstreamer-1.20 will be released and we stick on 1.16.2 which was released on 03 December 2019.

gstreamer should get more love in Gentoo.

Ping? Can we have 1.16.3 until the meson stuff has been sorted out?
