Description Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2004-07-06 18:57:02 UTC 
just adding

install-exec-local:
       gst-register-@GST_MAJOR_MINOR@

in the toplevel Makefile.am will do it, I guess.
Comment 1 Ronald Bultje 2004-07-06 19:08:46 UTC 
It should not be done after installation, because that assumes that the building
computer is the same as the running computer. It should be done in the
post-installation step in RPM/deb building.

This has been suggested before several times, btw.
Comment 2 Stephane Loeuillet 2004-12-12 17:48:26 UTC 
closing at it is a packaging issue
Comment 3 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2004-12-14 23:39:56 UTC 
[I do not feel as strongly as I used to feel about this, so this is all prefixed
with a big FWIW.]

It is a packaging issue, indeed, but it is also just another annoyance for our
dear and cherished alpha/beta testers, who build cvs/development tarballs
periodically...

Also, I hear packagers love stuff like gconf's --disable-schemas-install and so
on on configure scripts, which always seemed (to me) the correct way to handle
this "'make install' is not real installation" thing, which though correct and
very much needed, is really needed only by the 0.00001% of the people out there,
namely those doing packaging.

Oh well. NOTGNOME it is, I guess. ;-)
