<PRE>Le 28/01/2013 22:57, Olav Vitters a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> To allow Totem to play back any file, in practice you want to install
</I>&gt;<i> GStreamer 1.0 from the tainted section.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Ideally to play back a lot of files, you'll want:
</I>&gt;<i> gstreamer1.0-dts
</I>&gt;<i> gstreamer1.0-faad
</I>&gt;<i> gstreamer1.0-x264
</I>&gt;<i> gstreamer1.0-amrwbdec
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> However, I cannot rely on those in totem.spec, because they are in the
</I>&gt;<i> tainted section.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> I see two ways of solving this:
</I>&gt;<i> 1. Building a non-tainted and a tainted totem
</I>&gt;<i>    The tainted one has Requires: for the tainted gstreamer 1.0 packages
</I>&gt;<i>    you'll very likely want.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>    Benefit:
</I>&gt;<i>     - Avoids Gstreamer 1.0 plugin packages from depending on lots of
</I>&gt;<i>       other packages
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>    Drawback:
</I>&gt;<i>     - Has to be repeated for every video player that uses GStreamer
</I>&gt;<i>     - Tracking subpackages can be difficult
</I>&gt;<i>     - Totem tainted version has a lot more dependencies
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> 2. Ensure that installing the tainted gstreamer1.0 plugin packages
</I>&gt;<i>    installs all related tainted plugin packages
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>    Example:
</I>&gt;<i>    gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad package in tainted should have:
</I>&gt;<i>       Requires: gstreamer1.0-dts
</I>&gt;<i>       Requires: gstreamer1.0-faad
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>    Due to subpackages possibly being moved in and out of the tainted
</I>&gt;<i>    section, the only thing I want to change is the Requires. I'm not
</I>&gt;<i>    planning to merge the subpackage.. even if it maybe is a little bit
</I>&gt;<i>    weird to have the main package always require the subpackage.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>    Benefit:
</I>&gt;<i>     - Ensures that enabling tainted section makes video playing 'work'
</I>&gt;<i>       in any player that uses GStreamer
</I>&gt;<i>     - List of subpackages is maintained in just one place
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>    Drawback:
</I>&gt;<i>     - Increases the size + dependencies of the tainted gstreamer
</I>&gt;<i>       subpackage
</I>&gt;<i>     - Cannot just install just one tainted subpackage, have to install
</I>&gt;<i>       them all at once
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> I think #2 is the best option. If someone enables tainted, then likely
</I>&gt;<i> they just want video playing to work. Furthermore, this avoids changing
</I>&gt;<i> all the video players which could use GStreamer.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Thoughts?
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
It should not be automatically with packagekit ?
