GNOME milestone: Unspecified
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #512740 +++
See the above bug for some background. Setting:
- core 0.10.17 + gst-plugins-base 0.10.15 installed in /usr
- running 'make check' with local -base 0.10.17 build, which will
create a local test-registry.xml file. The plugins path of the
test environment is specified as LOCAL_PLUGINS:CORE_PLUGINS where
core plugins includes the old 0.10.15 -base plugins. Now, later
scanned plugin features in the registry will trump earlier ones,
so the registry will end up with two plugin records for each
duplicate -base plugin, but only one of those (in this case, the
installed path) will have the element factories, and the other
one will have no element factories. Now, if you uninstall the
-base 0.10.15 in /usr and then run 'make check' again, the
registry records for those plugins will be removed, along with
the element factories. Left in the registry will be empty
plugin records for the locally-built plugins without any
factories. Timestamp+size will still be up-to-date though, so
the registry will not attempt to re-scan those plugins, and
as a result those element factories remain invisible/nonexistent.
Question is if we want to handle something like this or not. Opinions?
