Fedora/Ubuntu is a very fast moving target, but i understood it as a good target for gstreamer. although some people (like me) would like to use a more robust os like rhel/centos. but currently it's not possible to update gstreamer to newer version on rhel/centos since gstreamer depend on glib/gtk which is too old in rhel for newer gstreamer. as (probably) rhel-6 will be out in 2010 it means that version of glib/gtk/cairo which will be in rhel-6 will remain for many years in the rhel/centos-6. so if i dare to ask that gtk/glib/cairo version in rhel-6 should have to enough for these features. ie. rise the required gtk/glib/cairo version in the current gstreamer to be enough for later version. otherwise these features can't be used in rhel-6 for many years. thanks in advance. regards. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!" |
