Package 2.30.2

[patrick flaherty <patf well com>]

Hi,

Experienced programmer and while computer science at college was all UNIX all the time that was some years ago.  I'm checking out the UNIX/Linux world again.  It seems the place to start programming with Ubuntu (Kubuntu  in my case) is packaging. 

Went through the exercises here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/HandsOn.  Brasero is used in one of the examples used and this page http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/brasero.html seems to ask for someone to package 2.30.2

Run dget to get 2.30.2 - that works.  Then debuild:

...

No package 'gstreamer-interfaces-0.10' found
No package 'gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10' found
configure:12903: error: Package requirements (  gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.15                       gstreamer-interfaces-0.10       gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.0) were not met:

No package 'gstreamer-0.10' found
No package 'gstreamer-interfaces-0.10' found
No package 'gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BRASERO_GSTREAMER_CFLAGS
and BRASERO_GSTREAMER_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Seems like I need newer versions of various gstreamer libraries.

Download from here http://packages.debian.org/sid/gstreamer0.10-plugins-base and try to build.  Now I need a newer version of liboil.  Hmm, seems like I could get into infinite recurse here if I don't switch to some tool that better handles the dependencies.  Tried synaptics package manager and apt-get in various ways but that didn't help.
