Like Nicolas said, the distro-specific packaging output of Cerbero is
not correct on Linux and is not supported, but the build output itself
(and packaging as tarballs) does work, is tested on our CI, and is
supported.

However, cross-linux is not tested on our CI so is not very well
tested, but should generally work except for minor bugs. As always,
patches are welcome, and should be added via a bug on bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer . Sending
patches via the mailing list is generally not going to be helpful.

Cheers,
