<PRE>To allow Totem to play back any file, in practice you want to install
GStreamer 1.0 from the tainted section.
Ideally to play back a lot of files, you'll want:
gstreamer1.0-dts
gstreamer1.0-faad
gstreamer1.0-x264
gstreamer1.0-amrwbdec
However, I cannot rely on those in totem.spec, because they are in the
tainted section.
I see two ways of solving this:
1. Building a non-tainted and a tainted totem
The tainted one has Requires: for the tainted gstreamer 1.0 packages
you'll very likely want.
Benefit:
- Avoids Gstreamer 1.0 plugin packages from depending on lots of
other packages
Drawback:
- Has to be repeated for every video player that uses GStreamer
- Tracking subpackages can be difficult
- Totem tainted version has a lot more dependencies
2. Ensure that installing the tainted gstreamer1.0 plugin packages
installs all related tainted plugin packages
Example:
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad package in tainted should have:
Requires: gstreamer1.0-dts
Requires: gstreamer1.0-faad
Due to subpackages possibly being moved in and out of the tainted
section, the only thing I want to change is the Requires. I'm not
planning to merge the subpackage.. even if it maybe is a little bit
weird to have the main package always require the subpackage.
Benefit:
- Ensures that enabling tainted section makes video playing 'work'
in any player that uses GStreamer
- List of subpackages is maintained in just one place
Drawback:
- Increases the size + dependencies of the tainted gstreamer
subpackage
- Cannot just install just one tainted subpackage, have to install
them all at once
I think #2 is the best option. If someone enables tainted, then likely
they just want video playing to work. Furthermore, this avoids changing
all the video players which could use GStreamer.
Thoughts?

Olav
