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.
I see your point. I'll think about reverting.
Historically, it looks like gst* makes a release about every two months
and it's been six weeks since the last one.
I did check every package that mentions libva and gstreamer-vaapi was the
only one that complained.
