Hi,
Some problems:
1. "portupgrade -a" updates gstreamer to 0.10, but not all the plugins
seem to have 0.10 versions (gstreamer-plugins-artsd for one). Did this
deserve a note in UPDATING?
2. gstreamer-plugins-artsd80 has faulty patches, and fails.
3. howl has been deprecated to avahi, which conflicts with both howl and
mDNSresponder. This means portupgrade -a now fails for me because I
have mDNSresponder installed (for KDE I think) and also howl from an
earlier gnome. Seems that howl and mDNSresponder never had CONFLICTS
set, if I'm reading the Makefiles correctly. This CONFLICTS on
mDNSresponder now causes upgrade to fail. Is avahi compatible with
mDNSresponder, and if so does this mean we need yet another switch same
as we had for gamin/fam earlier?
Cheers,
Andy
