I'm afraid I have wimped out for now, and I am using gstreamer 1.0 as a
C API from my C++ code so that it compiles fine on both Rawhide and
Sid. If I can get Me TV inot a usable state quickly, I'll revisit
creating a gstreamermm package. It does need doing, gstreamer 0.10 is
effectively dead from what I can tell.

Good thing we have comprehensive documentation on it, then!

Clearly true, per se. I have though no idea how to create packages,
especially for submission to the Fedora repository.

Also I am going to fall into the "chicken and egg" pit myself: it is
easier and quicker to create an application specific C++ wrapper around
the C API than to contribute the package. I bet this is what is
happening generally.

GStreamermm

2016-01-19 Thread Russel Winder
Hi,

Debian Sid and Fedora Rawhide both have gstreamer-0.10 and gstreamer-
1.0 libraries, seemingly the full set. However Sid only has Gstreamermm
1.0 and Rawhide only has Gstreamermm 0.10. Is this intentional? It does
make things somewhat awkward creating Gstreamer application with C++.

I dount it's intentional, I suspect it's more than no one has needed
gstreamermm 1.0 and hence not packaged it up.

Pity though. C is not a good language for writing applications. Sadly
there is chicken and egg situation here: only C API is available so
people do not use C++ so the packaging doesn't happen. I guess the
Debian GSteamermm packagers just "went for it" on the ground 1.0 is
better than 0.10.

There's nothing stopping you packaging it up :-)
