Questions about Orc and GStreamer

Questions about Orc and GStreamer

[Carlos Rafael Giani]

Hello,

I have noticed that Orc is still not part of OE-core.
Is it still possible to move it into Dora? It would be useful for 
GStreamer and other projects that seem to be using it.

And, I am preparing patches for updating GStreamer 1.0 to version 1.2.
I hope this update is still possible in the current M5 phase..

cheers

Hello Carlos,

Is this Orc?
http://code.entropywave.com/orc/

In this phase of the release cycle, is no longer possible to include orc into dora YP release.
Also, package upgrades are no longer integrated in this phase of the release cycle.

However, for both packages, patches will be welcome after dora is released into the wild.

Regards,
Cristian

Yes, thats Orc. It is part of meta-oe , but really should be in OE-core. 
I think there was a discussion about this in OE-core months ago, and I 
didn't see an opinion against it.
Can the GStreamer upgrade be included in the dora branch after release? 
I remember seeing package upgrades in the dylan happening after its 
release. In other words, package upgrades aren't just restricted to the 
master branch, correct?

The answer is we generally don't do upgrades on stable branches unless there 
is a very good reason (for example, a security bug where it is more practical 
to just upgrade to a new version for the recipe instead of trying to backport 
patches to the existing version).

Specifically regarding gstreamer 1.2, I'm not too keen on the idea of upgrading 
it in a stable branch - I've been told that there have been backwards-
incompatible changes since 1.0; if that is the case it wouldn't really be 
appropriate. FWIW, the option as always is open to add the new version as a 
separate layer on top of dylan.

Cheers,
Paul
