Hi everyone, Thought I should try to help kickstart some wider 0.9.x action. As you might know/not know 0.9.0 is now at a point where its ready for a wider audience to start porting plugins and testing stuff. Wim will be sending out a mail later today with a todo and some suggested starting points and porting hints. We currently have 3 modules. gstreamer cvs head which is what its always been, the home of core of gstreamer. then we have gst-plugins-base which contain the baseline plugins we selected to be the minimum required to be able to verify that 'stuff' works, this includes currently alsasink, x/xvimagesink, ogg vorbis and ogg theora demuxer (and muxer commited soon), add and probably a couple I forget. This is also the new home of the tools and helper libs. The plan is to set up multiple plugins cvs modules for 0.9 and Thomas plans on working on that. But to not hinder anyone from working I went over CVS head of gst-plugins today and commented out or deleted every plugin which is not ported yet so that it can build. Currently only two plugins are active in that package, oss and effectv, as Wim have ports of these ready, so as soon as he commits those the package should in theory build. I also added a PORTED_09 file with some comments and information. My idea is that as you start porting you re-enable the plugins in gst-plugins. When Thomas gets around to it he will then move the ported plugins into their new permanent homes as the new cvs modules gets created. Christian(Continue reading)
