Avoiding registration as shlib provider

Avoiding registration as shlib provider

[Carlos Rafael Giani]

Hello,

I have noticed the problem with GStreamer in current master: the many 
"xyz was registered as shlib provider" warnings.
Actually, it makes no sense to register the plugins, since they are, 
well, plugins. No other package must have a hard dependency on any of 
them. So, it would make sense to disable registration for the plugins. 
Is this possible?

cheers

Yes it makes sense and it's possible by listing them in PRIVATE_LIBS
(PRIVATE_LIBS_${PN}-foo)

If you dont want to list them one-by-one than you'll have to wait for
