Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
The release of a new major GStreamer 1.0 release is going to happen |
4 |
soon. It will be parallel-installable with the 0.10 series, so it will |
5 |
be eventually introduced as a separate SLOT and co-exist for a while. |
6 |
|
7 |
As such, if you maintain any packages that have any dependencies on |
8 |
|
9 |
media-libs/gstreamer |
10 |
media-libs/gst-plugins-* |
11 |
media-plugins/gst-plugins-* |
12 |
|
13 |
please get ready for it by pinning the dependencies to the appropriate |
14 |
SLOT, which should currently be 0.10 in all cases. |
15 |
Use SLOT deps if at all possible with your used EAPI, or at least a |
16 |
=media-plugins/gst-plugins-foo-0.10* kind of dependency. |
17 |
|
18 |
This way I'll have less package maintainers to chase around and bugs to |
19 |
file once it's actually time to introduce the new SLOTs to the tree |
20 |
(having all currently packages properly slot depend on 0.10 is |
21 |
considered a blocker for 1.0 introducing). |
22 |
|
23 |
media-libs/gst-plugins-bad used to be SLOT=0 accidentally, but this has |
24 |
been slotmoved now, so SLOT 0.10 dep there as well. |
25 |

Thanks, |
