gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins and x264 dependency

Hi everybody,
why gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins wants x264=20100207 and not  x264>=20100207  as other packages does:

:: ffmpeg: richiede x264>=20100107
:: mplayer-svn: richiede x264>=20090925
:: opal: richiede x264>=20090416

I installed x264-git and gstreamer-ugly dependecy is blocking updates!

(For the moment I solved changing the provide flag in x264-git PKGBUILD with 20100207 instead of 20100313)

thanks

Re: gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins and x264 dependency

because always when we bump x264, it has a so name bump. so if you use x264-git it has a soname bump to .libx264.so.88 but -ugly package was compiled against .84, therefor ugly will not function well since is not finding libx264.so.84

every maintainer can do how they want but i think is better with =$pkgver in this case

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

So if I want to keep x264-git and I want to be able to update my system I have to switch to gstreamer-git right?

no. you have to rebuilid gstreamer0.10-ugly to link against new soname. but now is not a problem anymore since i bump x264 yesterday and rebuild all packages against it.
