[ubuntu/resolute-proposed] gst-plugins-good1.0 1.28.0-1ubuntu3 (Accepted)

[Charles]

gst-plugins-good1.0 (1.28.0-1ubuntu3) resolute; urgency=medium

  * Drop jpegformat, camerasrcbin, and gstphotography.
    - Vendoring these -bad plugins into -good has been problematic for
      a number of years. It's not only -good that is vendoring -bad
      plugins in Ubuntu, but also packages like GTK4 (for the
      GStreamer backend).
    - It would be more maintainable for the distribution to introduce
      a -bad plugin split wherein a subset of needed -bad plugins are
      within the main repository, so that main dependents need not
      vendor anything and instead can rely on a package tracking them.
    - This will help us keep this subset of plugins up-to-date with
      upstream. For instance, jpegparse was stuck at version 1.18,
      since it was burdensome to update it beyond 1.21.1 (required
      bringing codecparsers over with it.) (LP: #2089260)
    - The pkgconfig patch needed for gstphotography has also been
      removed as part of this change.
  * Recommend gstreamer1.0-plugins-extra. (LP: #2121050)
    - To avoid breaking packages that depend on earlier versions of
      gst-plugins-good1.0, in which packaging hacks were made to
      incorporate some -bad plugins. These are going to be moved to
      an -extra package.
