And while you would get less plugins, if installing only the stuff from those two rpms, there still is a dependency on two external packages. If "libmad" for MP3 decoding is not installed already, the GStreamer plugin using it would not work at all: # dnf install gstreamer1-libav gstreamer-plugins-ugly Dependencies resolved. ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: gstreamer-plugins-ugly x86_64 0.10.19-18.fc23 rpmfusion-free-updates-testing 333 k gstreamer1-libav x86_64 1.6.2-1.fc23 rpmfusion-free-updates-testing 230 k libmad x86_64 0.15.1b-17.fc23 rpmfusion-free-updates-testing 78 k opencore-amr x86_64 0.1.3-4.fc22 rpmfusion-free 178 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 4 Packages Total download size: 819 k Installed size: 2.0 M Is this ok [y/N]: > really that simple, no dealing with runtime linker search paths, > additional rpm dependencies or anything like that. Wrong. As shown above. You would need to extract the "libmad" shared lib and all other runtime dependencies in a similar way to decouple it from the RPM based system installation. Or else any package update could replace libmad with an upgrade that's incompatible with the plugins you've extracted. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
