Log:
Update to intel-vaapi-driver and libva 2.0.0,
but gstreamer-vaapi-1.12.3 is broken until the next
gstreamer release.


I'm pretty sure this was a good reason NOT to update, no?

Can always revert if gstreamer does not do a release.  gstreamer-vaapi is an end-program and optimization at that.  Nothing depends on it and all the other packages that use libva are ok.

You could argue that anything that uses gstreamer for playing video uses gst-vaapi. It adds hardware accelerated paths for several codecs on video hardware that supports it.

Same way, neither gst-plugins-ugly nor gst-libav have anything dependent on them, but you can't use some apps relying on gstreamer for playing certain media if you don't have them installed.

And since libva 2.0.0 is a big bump, gst-vaapi won't support it until next minor version (1.14), and there's no sight of that one yet.
