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 % From <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/commit/afbb72cc3a627083dea0ad451bb887a2f7a922df#diff-8cfe2945583e33f5f0efcb793a56070503fd1f732e5869ee014036d6b513f468R17581> (2022-10-02): > x11-toolkits/gstreamer1-plugins-gtk4||2022-10-01| > 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? <https://www.freshports.org/multimedia/gstreamer1-plugins/#requiredforRun> <https://www.freshports.org/multimedia/gstreamer1-plugins/#slaveports>
- 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?
