[Sugar-devel] Fwd: Call to retire gstreamer-0.10

[Peter Robinson]

FYI. We'll likely need these converted over in the F-26 cycle or drop
them. I think the hardest to migrate would be record.

Hi,

As I'm sure everyone is well aware gstreamer-0.10 is obsolete and has
been replaced by gstreamer-1.0. An upstream release for gst-0.10 has
not been made in over 4 years. Last month there were a handful of
security vulnerabilities disclosed[1] and upstream no longer maintains
the 0.10 series. While we could patch and update our Fedora packages
this is a perfect opportunity to retire it.

Here is an approximate list of packages depending on gst-0.10. They
themselves should be considered obsolete or retirement material as
their upstreams may not have adopted gst-1.0. If the package doesn't
have a gst-1.0 equivalent there may be some cases where we could patch
in support for gst-1.0. Are there any non-Fedora software that would
prevent retirement from being possible?
