Speaking of gstreamer-plugins-bad, I don't even grab mine from any repository. I have to compile my own as I use the timidity and wildmidi plugins (which aren't enabled in any of the repos, as far as I can tell).
Argh, you are right they aren't enabled in livna. Next time please file a bug about things like this. I specially packaged libtimidity and wildimidi for Fedora so that I could enable them, I'll do a new gstreamer-plugins-bad for livna fixing this shortly.
I was wondering why there was a wildmidi-related patch in the srpm. Sorry if I hadn't filed a bug report. It's hard to tell what was intended and what isn't. Would it interest you to know that on my machine, I also have the mpeg2enc and nassink plugins enabled?
Hans, how about this for an idea: re-write the gstreamer-plugins-bad.spec so that it puts the various plugins in separate packages and make gstreamer-plugins-bad a virtual package that Requires all of the plugins to pull them in?
I was going to do that for my system, privately. Unfortunately, I don't know how to rename the main part of the sub-packages name. I was planning on using the scheme "gstreamer-plugin-<module>" for the modules and "gstreamer-plugins-bad" for the virtual package, but I can't figure out how to change the root name. I'd really rather not use "gstreamer-plugins-bad-<module>" if possible (actually, I'd rather not use ANY filenames, if possible. I've posted several times against the idea of storing meta-info in filenames). Any ideas? --
