I've been playing with the new code in PackageKit for codec installing
with external repos. It was a little disappointed to find some external
repos have not recompiled packages with a new gstreamer-devel and rpm.
This means packages display this:
[hughsie@localhost docs]$ rpm -qp /home/hughsie/gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.4-1.rph10.x86_64.rpm
--provides
libgstffmpeg.so()(64bit)
libgstpostproc.so()(64bit)
gstreamer-ffmpeg = 0.10.4-1.lvn10
rather than this:
[hughsie@localhost docs]$ rpm -qp --provides
/home/hughsie/rpmbuild/RPMS/gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.4-1.rph10.x86_64.rpm
gstreamer0.10(decoder-application/gxf)()(64bit)
gstreamer0.10(decoder-application/mxf)()(64bit)
gstreamer0.10(decoder-application/ogg)()(64bit)
.. a million mode code strings...
libgstffmpeg.so()(64bit)
libgstpostproc.so()(64bit)
gstreamer-ffmpeg = 0.10.4-1.lvn10
All you need to do is recompile, and everything will be done
automatically. It would be disappointing to not have this fixed before
F10.
Thanks,
Richard.
