This is probibly more a releng thing than a infra thing...

@mohanboddu any ideas here? I see it was blocked on friday, but I can't really see why...

I'd guess that gstreamer-plugins-base got blocked because that is the quite ancient 0.10 version which got replaced by gstreamer1-plugins-base.
It's probably a good idea to merge gstreamer1-plugins-base into gstreamer-plugins-base (while setting all the deps and conflicts as needed) and get rid of gstreamer1-plugins-base

Eh. I'd defer to how the gstreamer1 maintainer(s) want to handle that. My last gstreamer-0.10 dependency (finally) migrated to 1.0, so I no longer have any dog in this fight.

can we close this ?

It absolutely isn't a good idea. All the GStreamer 1.x packages (including the very many plugin packages) all have the "gstreamer1" prefix.

So, perhaps you all could take this discussion to the devel list? I don't think there is anything more for infra to do here...

If noone wants it it could be retired (again)?
