Cerbero is no longer used by GStreamer project to build Linux packages.
Instead it's used to produce builds for OS like Windows, OSX, iOS and
Android. We believe that distribution specific packages will always yield a
better result, and working toward matching these would be a waste of
effort. That being said, Debian people in the GStreamer community didn't
want to disable that completely (the rpm stuff is already disabled and
replace by tarballs). Though, we might end up disabling as no one seems to
maintain it, wasting user time apparently.

Debian have long time given up on cross compilation support. Have you
consider using debos for your custom RPI distro ?

We have done a build of master with SRT support using gst-build only.
Though, there was few issues in meson CMake support that we are working
through. This is rather spare time, let me know if you would like to carry.
