not applied yet.
This leads to an inconsistent interface: when playing a file for which
no GStreamer codec is installed using Totem or Banshee, the codec
service will get triggered, but users who have RPMfusion-nonfree
enabled would then be surprised to be told there is no match.
Since the plugin has already landed, we can't quite block it from
Fedora 9. Could F-9's RPM be patched, so that Gstreamer plugin
providers can then rebuild their RPMs to take advantage of the plugin?
It's a pretty trivial change to rpm to generate the data, but F9 is old,
and soon going to be obsolete. I guess the best thing to do is disable
the PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin functionality in F9. Please open a bug
if you want me to do that. Thanks.
