Pipewire/GStreamer/Lib problem by upgrading

English Applications
1

Hello,

I´m trying to upgrade my distribution, but I run into this warnings about vendors and I´m not sure which option to choose. I read a little about this, I get that OpenSuse pushed updates .
Packman seems also to be aware .

But honestly I don´t understand what all that means. Should I just wait until Packman repositories are updates or is there another option?

Here is the output:

X@localhost:~> sudo LANG=C zypper dup

Warning: You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories. Make sure these repositories are compatible before you continue. See 'man zypper' for more information about this command.

Packman stopped building these packages for Tumbleweed. You need to agree to switch vendor to openSUSE.

I would have provided links to announcements if openSUSE list archives actually worked. From factory mails:

Letting you all know that we have removed the packages gstreamer-plugins-bad and gstreamer-plugins-ugly (and their
sub-packages) for Tumbleweed. Leap stays as it has been in the past.

In the future only the plugins not available in main oss from these 2
will be packaged and shipped (gstreamer-plugins-libav will continue to
exist for now).

This means that user will encounter that zypper expect/wants you to do
a vendor change for a lot of gstreamer packages if you currently have
them installed from the packman repo. This is expected and you should
go ahead with the vendor change.

Once done, you should be left with only 2 (or 4 if you have
gst-*32-bits installed aswell).
Those will be:

gstreamer-plugins-bad-codecs
gstreamer-plugins-ugly-codecs

(and depending on 32-bit or not)

gstreamer-plugins-bad-codecs-32bit
gstreamer-plugins-ugly-codecs-32bit

Following the pattern we have done for gstreamer-plugins-bad/ugly, we now follow up with similar changes for Pipewire. Previously a fully
rebuilt pipewire suite was offered from Packman, but going forward a
single package for a single plugin (the only one missing from the
package offered from openSUSE) will be supplied from packman.

New package is called pipewire-aptx, and you will once again see zypper
offer you to vendor switch to packages from the main OSS repo like with
the changes for gstreamer-bad/ugly.
The package pipewire-aptx should be automatically be installed as long
as you have pipewire and friends installed.
