Actually he may have a good idea, because there are ports like multimedia/gstreamer-player that will load and use any and every gstreamer plugin that it can find. we could add say USE_GSTREAMER=all-select that will depend on gstreamer-plugins-select which will have a OPTION= for every plugin in bsd.gstreamer.mk But then again when package building what ports do we choose for defaults? Use USE_GSTREAMER=all when PACKAGE_BUILDING is defined and depend on all 47 plugins? Michael
