Comment 1 Thomas Vander Stichele 2002-12-07 19:07:58 UTC 
still valid or not ?
what arch ?
Comment 2 Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2003-01-23 13:48:47 UTC 
Something that needs fixing before 0.6.0?
Comment 3 David Schleef 2003-01-23 17:00:24 UTC 
Still broken.

In addition, unless someone has tested this, ext/cothreads is very
broken on i386, too, for separate reasons.
Comment 4 David Schleef 2003-07-17 05:33:22 UTC 
Unless someone fixes the bugs in libs/ext/cothreads, I'm planning on
removing it soon.
Comment 5 David Schleef 2003-07-27 05:12:18 UTC 
libs/ext/cothreads and the corresponding scheduler is disabled.  If
you want it back, please fix the bugs first.
Comment 6 Ronald Bultje 2003-07-27 11:02:05 UTC 
Dave, although I cannot really disagree with you about disabling the
build, I'd recommend to keep this bug open. The bug hasn't been fixed
at all.
Comment 7 David Schleef 2003-07-27 18:56:46 UTC 
Since gst-libs/ext/cothreads is a special case that pulls in code from
elsewhere, "disabled" == "no longer disted" == "removed".

Or did you mean something else?
Comment 8 Ronald Bultje 2003-07-27 19:25:37 UTC 
Removed from the disted tarball, not from CVS. So the code still
exists, and we should keep this bug open to make someone fix it on the
long run.
Comment 9 David Schleef 2003-07-27 21:56:46 UTC 
It's not in the gstreamer CVS module, it's in the cothreads module.

External cothreads is broken, nobody plans to repair it, and we have
better alternatives.  I don't want someone to spend the time to fix
it, I want it gone.

(However, a fresh checkout still checks out the cothreads module into
the appropriate directory.  That should be fixed.)
Comment 10 David Schleef 2003-07-29 02:31:28 UTC 
The checkout is now removed from autogen.sh, so fresh checkouts will
no longer include libs/ext/cothreads.

It seems rather silly to remove the actual cothreads CVS module.

I'm marking this FIXED again.  If you want to reopen it, please go
ahead, but also please explain exactly how you want me to fix a bug
that is no longer in gstreamer.  At some point in the past, we made
the decision to remove the cothreads library, but nobody acted on it.
 If we're _not_ going to do that, I need to know.
