Note:
Besides the usual toolchain components we only need glib and libxml2 to
build the gstreamer core, thus it doesn't have to be build after gtk+
and there is no need to source the gtk+-conf.in.
To make gstreamer available to more packages the build priority has to
be changed to something right after glib and libxml2.
Seems that since MAGIX AG bought Xara Group Ltd. there is no budget for
developing the OSS vararian xaralx anymore, and according to Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xara_Xtreme#Versions_for_Linux
"The progress of the Linux version has stalled and the program's website has
not been updated since August 2006. No commits to SVN source code repository
has been happening for same period of time.
A new project, xarino, was created in December 2008[5], which provides access
to the project's source code. A new mailing list was established in May 2009"
http://code.google.com/p/xarino/
But xarino seems to be stalled as well (last commit to svn 2009/01/25) so it
looks xaralx/xarino will rest in peace.
Note:
kbarcode is not fully ported to KDE4 yet, but the author is providing a less
powerful kde4 version called kbarcode4-light, which is similar to KBarcode for
KDE3, but less powerful. KBarcode4-light allows only to create single barcodes.
As the port for KBarcode is not yet ready and
no one knows when it will be ready, KBarcode4-light provides basic barcode
generation for KDE. An additional benefit is that it provides an easy to use
interface for Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript.
Note:
Even if openlibraries is compiling now, there seems to be no development
activity anymore. Same applies to the jahshaka (now cinefx) project from
the same author.
Note:
We need to change the build priority of the gstreamer package so it gets build
before the wxwidgets package, which shouldn't be a problem because the gstreamer
core only depends on glib and libxml2.
