@Ankur: I missed the notification of the previous ticket, since no packages inside Fedora depends directly on gstreamermm (except subtitleeditor which you maintain), I suggest that we just update the gstreamermm package in F24+, I'll be glad to add you as co-maintainer.

Comment 2 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2016-06-06 07:54:41 UTC
Hiya,

Yeah, sure. Whatever requires least effort :)

Will we need to change the package name to gstreamermm1 etc? Sorry - I'm not up to date with what upstream's doing and how things are versioned currently.

Cheers!

Comment 3 hguemar 2016-06-07 18:08:01 UTC
No, we can keep the old name. Changing name is only required for //-installable packages which is not needed here.

Comment 4 Bruno Wolff III 2016-06-08 18:08:03 UTC
However you guys checked dependencies is wrong and this change broke lordsofwar. Are yiu guys planning on doing a compat package for 0.10? Or provide info on how to convert a program to switch from 0.10 to 1.4?

Comment 5 hguemar 2016-06-10 12:07:41 UTC
Only gstreamer-devel and subtitleeditor appeared when using dnf repoquery.
Build was pushed only in rawhide but I'll provide you a patch for lordsawar quite soon.

As for F24, I'll send an heads-up on the devel list before we change anything.

Comment 6 Bruno Wolff III 2016-06-10 15:41:42 UTC
Thanks for help you can provide for lordsawar.

I think it is too late to do this upgrade in f24 unless perhaps you add a compatibility package. (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Stable_Releases)

It looks like what happened on the check is that on x86_64 the requirement is on the 64 bit version and doing a repoquery without that limitation does show a hit. If you check:
repoquery --whatrequires 'libgstreamer-0.10.so.0()(64bit)'
which I suspect will also get hit by this change, you get several other packages besides lordsawar that you'll probably want to check.

Comment 7 hguemar 2016-06-11 13:06:28 UTC
In this case, there are only two packages depending on gstreamermm which are subtitleeditor and lordsawar. We have a fix for lordsawar and this package was requested by subtitleeditor, so it's pretty much self-contained.
I don't mind having a compat package but it'll be short-lived and nobody else is actually using on F24.

dnf repoquery --whatrequires 'libgstreamermm-0.10.so.2()(64bit)'
gstreamermm-devel-0:0.10.11-9.fc24.x86_64
lordsawar-0:0.3.0-2.fc24.x86_64
subtitleeditor-0:0.41.0-8.fc23.x86_64

Nonetheless, I can keep it rawhide-only too, maybe Ankur has a different opinion?

Comment 8 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2016-06-14 13:46:53 UTC
Hiya,

That may work - although it'd be nice to have subtitle editor working for the stable branches too. I haven't received any complaints yet, so maybe there aren't too many people using the tool at the moment..

Comment 9 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2018-01-07 21:44:24 UTC
I reckon this should've been closed as WONTFIX already.
