Let's not focus on CentOS5 vs CentOS6 for now... the issue is that
gstreamer-1.0 requires that previously supported Linux OSs and platforms will
no longer be supported; that is, our community builds will no longer work for
them.
sure, it's about the platform we now need to use. When gstreamer is no longer
working with the old CentOS5 system, then let's update it.
That's what I want to express, not more or less.
No, it's about what platforms we now provide community binaries for.
I think we talk about the same thing but don't understand each other.
;-) OK, let's go on.
To be explicit: With the jump to 4.2.x, we will no longer be supporting older Linux
platforms that we DID support w/ 4.1.x. This is all about what we change regarding what
platforms we provide community builds for (and thus "officially" support). If
we say that all Linux platforms that are too old to use gstreamer-1.x (eg: CentOS5, but
actually it's a kernel dependency) are no longer officially supported, GREAT. But let's
just make sure that is our decision.
I actually thought one of the considerations of this project was to support as
many older platforms as possible... if that is NOT the case, then again, we
need to make that decision explicitly. WHAT is our backwards
compatibility/support roadmap for 4.2.x??
Yes, "as possible". But when our effort is somewhen to high to support
the older things, then move on and leave them behind us. Mostly the
vendor has already given up much earlier. ;-)
But as I'm not a developer I cannot estimate how difficult it is to go
on as it is today.
