Present Perfect

Here's a reminder of what insomnia can do to you. Like I said before, the GStreamer team is getting a new release ready.

One thing that might need to be done after this new release is to split off the plugins from the core to make it more manageable. To this end I had proprosed a division of the plugins among directories. One of the developers (who shall remain nameless to protect the innocent ;) ) spoke out against the idea of directory classification, and argued that we might as well make a flat tree.

Well, yesterday night I couldn't get to sleep and got up again, and on IRC someone commented on the plugins, and he said that "I might as well put all of the .c and .h headers in a separate .tar.gz".

Hah flipping hah. So I thought, sure, why not ?

Ladies and gentlemen, you can download an unofficial pre-release of GStreamer 0.2.99. Grab the tarball (which contains more than 1700 tar.gz's) and the script to unpack them, configure the thing and make it. Send us mail as feedback on whether or not gstreamer compiles for you while you're at it, because all this fun stuff actually serves a purpose. Or drop by in #gstreamer on irc.openprojects.net

Needless to say, I got a good night's rest out of it, though a bit short.
