[gst-devel] GStreamer status, 20 Sept 2005

[Stefan Kost]

Even though I am not counted as core-dev and thus have no vote here my pov:
if gst-0.9 would require glib-2.8 right now, I would not be able to contribute 
anymore.
My systems use gentoo and suse and neither one has glib-2.8 packages in their 
stable versions yet.
