Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-10-09 06:23:51 UTC 
Please: is this an omission, or working as intended? 

Remarkable, yesterday, the first of these two deinstallations (the second was easier to understand): 

% grep deinstalled /var/log/messages | grep 33806
Oct  8 14:00:16 mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd pkg[33806]: gstreamer1-plugins-gtk4-1.16.2 deinstalled
Oct  8 14:00:16 mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd pkg[33806]: e2fsprogs-1.46.5_5 deinstalled

> No consumers left and deprecated in favor gtk4 plugin from 
> multimedia/gstreamer1-plugins-rust >= 0.8.0

Now: 

* should gstreamer1-plugins-rust become a runtime requirement of 
         gstreamer1-plugins?

Comment 1 Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-10-09 08:32:35 UTC 
- gstreamer1-plugins cannot depend on individual plugins like gstreamer1-plugins-rust as it would cause recursive/cyclic dependency
- gstreamer1-plugins-all can probably include gstreamer1-plugins-rust but it's a growing collection of plugins like gstreamer1-plugins-ugly
- splitting gstreamer1-plugins-rust is complicated due to lack of review D16457 and build system being unlike other plugins (Meson is mostly a wrapper around Cargo)
- gstreamer1-plugins-svt-{av1,hevc,vp9} are also not connected to gstreamer1-plugins-all

(In reply to Jan Beich from comment #1)

Thanks, and sorry, I should have remembered, from bug 263949, the existence of the -all port. 

Writing this, now, in a way, that might help me to remember: 

multimedia/gstreamer1-plugins – a collection, with numerous 
   slave ports (and a runtime dependency on 
   multimedia/gstreamer1) – that does not require 
multimedia/gstreamer1-plugins-all – a meta-port, with numerous 
   gstreamer1 runtime dependencies, including the 
multimedia/gstreamer1-plugins-ugly collection 
   but not exactly all.

Is it sanest to close this bug report, working as intended?
