error building gstva plugins with cerbero

[Jon Beare]

Hello,

I'm building gstreamer 1.22.2 for ubuntu 20.04 with cerbero and I would
like to include the new 'va' plugins.

My recipe is:
docker run -it -u 0 ubuntu:20.04 /bin/bash
apt-get update
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install git python3-distro
python3-pip wget va-driver-all libva-dev
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero
cd cerbero/
git checkout 1.22.2
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive ./cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap
./cerbero-uninstalled -v vaapi package gstreamer-1.0

On the last command, I get a build error:
../meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Unknown options: "with_drm, with_encoders,
with_wayland, with_x11"

My questions are:
1) Is building the vaapi variant via cerbero the correct way to build the
new gstva plugins?
2) If so, what are the steps required to successfully run "
./cerbero-uninstalled -v vaapi package gstreamer-1.0"?
3) I ran into several other issues prior to this which led me to installing
the va-driver-all and libva-dev packages. Should cerbero be taking care of
these dependencies?
4) Is there a way to force cerbero to create the tarball even if some files
are missing?

Thank you,
Jon
