[jokosher-devel] Running Jokosher svn on Fedora Core 6

[John Green <john thegreens co uk>]

I've been attempting to install all the bits of gstreamer needed to run svn
Jokosher on Fedora Core 6 recently and so I was interested in snecklifter's
update to the wiki (welcome back snecklifter btw) that all necessary
packages are now in core, updates and extras. This has not been my
experience of the last few days. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. I am
very much a FC6 noob ;)

As far as I can see with the gstreamer-plugins-good in updates (version
0.10.4.3) you still don't get audiopanorama and so Jokosher fails miserably.
There are rpms in gstreamer's own repository
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/pkg/fedora/6/0.10/i386/gst/ which
constitute the latest release of gstreamer (same as will be in feisty and
fedora 7). However there is no binary for gstreamer-plugins-good 0.10.5 but
there is a source rpm which I've been able to build from and get Jokosher
running.

Another problem that's been a PITA is that none of the FC6 repositories
include gstreamer-plugins-bad or gstreamer-plugins-ugly. You seem to have to
use third party repos like freshrpms. Or that's the impression I get. Then
you get dependency issues between plugins-bad from freshrpm and plugins-good
so you have to use plugins-bad 0.10.4 from gstreamer repo. 

So now nearly everything works. I can import and export ogg and mp3 fine.
But I don't get effects as the binary rpm from the gstreamer repo isn't
built with ladspa. grrr.

So please snecklifter (or anybody) where are these magic repos where
everything just works :(
