Hi, a recent update wants to bring in a lot of new
gnome/gstreamer-plugins dependencies, like gtk3,gconf etc..is that
really necessary?
On my system, kde-meta-kdemultimedia needs farsight2, which seems to
cause all the new dependencies.
Should the dependencies be reviewed or do I really need all that?
Thanks, Mark
shouldn't you review them before starting this discussion?
Well, I unfortunately don't understand this in depth, I just noticed that
previous version of farsight2 didn't require so much deps, in contrast to
this. What I was asking for is to consider if it would be possible to keep the
dependencies as low as possible (the old version).
Like you said the stuff is brought for the RTP plugin, so could this be made
just optional? (I know I could rebuild it myself as I wish, I just like to
stick to offic packages as much as possible).
Feature requests are supposed to go to the bugtracker.
http://cgit.collabora.co.uk/git/farsight2.git/tree/README
Run time for the RTP plugin:
All of the build time requirements (except gtk-doc) plus
- gst-plugins-good 0.10.29
- gst-plugins-bad 0.10.20
Note that this is used for codecs when using video/voice over telepathy.
If you don't want kde-meta-kdemultimedia then don't install it.
I know :), but I like it. Just it seems me and some more ppl dont like
kopete/pidgin now pulling lot of gnome dependencies.
Thanks, Mark
PS: I'm attaching a patch for farsight Anthony sent me. Thank you.
