gstreamer 0.10/1.0 policy

[Jakub Bogusz]

gstreamer 1.0 has been released.
It's mostly (at least on libraries/plugins) level parallel-installable
with 0.10.
Every package targeted to gstreamer 0.10 would require some effort to switch
to 1.0 (at least change pkg-config check, I'm now aware of API changes).

What to do now? I see a few possibilities:
- keep gstreamer 0.10 using current names, package 1.0 as gstreamer1-*
  (it's not what I'd like)
- keep gstreamer 0.10 packages as gstreamer0.10-*, upgrade gstreamer-*
  packages to 1.0 (old external gst 0.10 plugins not ported yet are to
  be renamed to gstreamer0.10-*)
- just upgrade gstreamer-* to 1.0, drop all plugins/packages requiring
  gst 0.10 not ported yet

Has someone looked what the other distros do?
