I appreciate this; it's not required by any means but it is a welcome improvement. > There is longstanding precedent for gstreamer microreleases to be > accepted as SRUs and I don't think those have claimed they were being > done as a GNOME dependency. This, however, is not persuasive to me. I don't consider "precedent" to be a reason not to follow the SRU procedure. If the other SRU team members who accepted those SRUs want to explain why they think an exception should be made here, that's fine, and then we can document it for the future. Without having talked to them first, however, my /suspicion/ is that they were regarding this as covered by the GNOME exception because of the difficulty we've had pinning down what is or isn't meant to be covered by it. > I think this gstreamer-editing-services-1.0 update is worth a > microrelease SRU.

That seems reasonable - please do get a test case for it. > I am ok with gst-python1.0 being rejected since the change is unimportant. Ok, I'll go ahead and do that. > Gstreamer has a solid record of stability I find I have to balance this against the fact that they have explicitly partitioned the codec drivers upstream into different levels of support, and the ones we're talking about here are not part of the GNOME core. > Is that acceptable or should we do another upload cherrypicking > the one fix we really care about? Given that there are no test cases and the possible effects of the changes are not obvious, please cherry-pick the one fix in order to get this through into .1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer1.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1980239 Title: Update gstreamer to 1.20.3 Status in gst-libav1.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gst-plugins-bad1.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gst-plugins-good1.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gst-plugins-ugly1.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gst-python1.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gst-rtsp-server1.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gstreamer-editing-services1.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gstreamer-vaapi package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gstreamer1.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gst-libav1.0 source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Status in gst-plugins-bad1.0 source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Status in gst-plugins-good1.0 source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Status in gst-plugins-ugly1.0 source package in Jammy: In Progress Status in gst-python1.0 source package in Jammy: Incomplete Status in gst-rtsp-server1.0 source package in Jammy: In Progress Status in gstreamer-editing-services1.0 source package in Jammy: Incomplete Status in gstreamer-vaapi source package in Jammy: In Progress Status in gstreamer1.0 source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Bug description: Impact ------ Since Ubuntu 22.04 LTS's release with gstreamer 1.20.1, there have been two bugfix stable releases. https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.20/#1.20.2 https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.20/#1.20.3 Test Case 1 ----------- We now run upstream's test suite for most gstreamer components at build time and fail the build for errors on our key desktop architectures, amd64 & arm64. Ensure the builds succeeed. Test Case 2 ----------- Play a variety of videos in Totem. Play a variety of audio tracks in Rhythmbox. Try to stream audio and/or video. Try to install a missing codec. In all cases, make sure that everything which worked before still works. What Could Go Wrong ------------------- If one of the fixes is bad then it might break video or audio playback, or could crash any application that tries to use gstreamer.
