[Buildroot] [PATCH v4 2/8] gst-plugins-${base, good, bad, ugly}: bump to 1.14.0

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com>]

Hello Peter,

I talked with Adam about this gstreamer1 patch series, and apparently
your comment below isn't clear to Adam, and this explains why he hasn't
resent the patch series.

Indeed, the gst1-plugins-bad package still has a
--enable-wayland/--disable-wayland option:

output/build/gst1-plugins-bad-1.14.0 $ ./configure --help | grep wayland
  --disable-wayland            disable wayland sink: wayland

And in base:

output/build/gst1-plugins-base-1.14.0 $ ./configure --help | grep wayland
  --enable-wayland        Enable Wayland support (requires EGL) [default=auto]

It's not entirely clear to me what are the two options doing.

In gst1-plugins-base, the --enable-wayland option requires EGL support,
and will enable some wayland related code in gst-libs/gl/. Peter, do
you understand what this does, compared to the wayland sink provided in
gst1-plugins-bad ?

In gst1-plugins-bad, the --enable-wayland option enables the build of a
wayland sink.

Best regards,

Thomas
