Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2015-04-22 07:30:01 UTC 
We currently ship headers for every single library we build, including for example all the codec libraries. This seems unneeded and confusing and we should stop doing that :)

IMHO we should only ship those headers that are required for GStreamer and for those libraries where we need the application to have the headers to make use of the corresponding plugin (cairo and libnice, anything else?).
Comment 1 Edward Hervey 2015-04-22 08:20:47 UTC 
Good idea. But we should also make that configurable when running cerbero. Some people might want to use it not just as a "I'm using only Gst API" SDK, but might want access to the dependency libraries.
Comment 2 Olivier Crête 2015-04-22 19:12:47 UTC 
Maybe we can just make separate packages with those headers/pkgconfig/.la files/etc ?
