Description Neal Gompa 2017-03-18 14:20:48 CET
Description of problem:
GStreamer 0.10 is old and unmaintained upstream since 2013. Since then, the world has largely moved onto GStreamer 1.x series, and we should drop GStreamer 0.10 from the distribution.

Comment 1 Marja Van Waes 2017-03-18 16:54:48 CET
Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package.

@marja: I wanted to have a look into this, but the post on dev is not available anymore.

If we want to drop gstreamer 0.10, we have to patch or drop a few packages, since they are not actively maintained (e.g. gnac) or still just use the old gstreamer (e.g. me-tv)

Forwarded them back to dev ml
https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/dev/2018-01/msg00042.html
and just noticed that they're easier to read there than in my mail client ;-)
Comment 4 Marc Krämer 2018-01-02 15:20:15 CET
thanks, I hope we can now get any forward on dropping them now :-)
