Don't use templates for the man pages, the API version change is a rare
event, so it's not really worth keeping in place the "sed" boilerplate
to have it set at build time.
Shipping the final man pages directly also makes it easer to install the
man pages with meson (in a future commit).
Note that now all the occurrences of the programs names have the API
version as a suffix.
Traditionally the example command lines looked like:
gst-launch ...
Now they look like:
gst-launch-1.0 ...
This reflects the actual programs names and makes it easier to copy and
paste the example commands.
Also, the .gitignore file is adjusted not to ignore the final man pages
anymore.
You may need to clean your src/build directory before pulling in this
patch.

Remove GST_MAJORMINOR and replace it by GST_API_VERSION
Also set GST_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO,NANO} explicitely
now.
All versions are at 1.0.0 now for the release soon but
API/ABI can still change until the 1.0.0 release.
Next release versions until 1.0.0 will be 0.10.9X and
these will be release candidates. GST_VERSION_* will
nonetheless stay at 1.0.0.0.
The unversioned tool wrappers are confusing and annoying for packagers,
users and developers alike. A gst-launch pipeline that works in 0.10
will likely not work in 0.11 (e.g. because elements or properties get
renamed, or syntax changes). The unversioned tools also yield useless
results when used with gdb or valgrind. Packagers need to co-ordinate
the packaging of all major versions to make sure there are no conflicts
when both try to install the same files. When two major versions are
in use (e.g. 0.10 and 0.11/1.0), it may be unclear (when looking at
things on IRC/pastebin/mailing list etc.) which version is actually
being used when there are unversioned wrappers. For all these reasons,
it seems best to just remove them for now.
People should just query the registry themselves or write a small
python script if they need this functionality (which is likely
less work than parsing the XML that this script outputs, and I'm
not aware of anything using the xml2text xsl either).
Remove the android/ top dir
Fixe the Makefile.am to be androgenized
To build gstreamer for android we are now using androgenizer which generates the needed Android.mk files.
Androgenizer can be found here: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/derek/androgenizer.git
Pipeline serialisation to and from XML is horribly broken for all
but the most simple use cases, and will likely never be fixed.
Make sure everyone playing around with these tools is aware of
this, to avoid frustration. See countless bug reports in bugzilla.
Fixes bug #622685.
Use foo_LDADD instead of foo_LDFLAGS to specify the libraries to link to.
This should make sure arguments are passed to the linker in the right
order. See #615697.
Original commit message from CVS:
* tools/Makefile.am:
* tools/gst-launch.1.in:
Don't create a customised man page based on the host architecture,
describe the default registry path generically. That way the man
page is the same for all architectures and packagers have one
multilib issue less to deal with. Fixes#434926.

Add back --version command line option (#340460).
* tools/gst-typefind.c: (have_type_handler), (typefind_file), (main):
Add --version option and use GOption for argument parsing; refactor a
bit; accept directories as arguments and recurse into them; lastly,
print a decent error message when things go wrong.

Registry rewrite. Changes registry from being a file created
by a tool into a simple cache file created automatically by
libgstreamer. Removed gst-register (because it's no longer
needed). Remove registry pools, because we only have one
registry implementation (XML). Fix up other subsystems as
necessary.
Original commit message from CVS:
Move man pages from %.1 to %.1.in, and add a rule to make .1 files
from .1.in, replacing program names with their versioned equivalent.
Handles nroff escape code for - (\-).
Original commit message from CVS:
gst-xmlinspect dumps the plugin info to an xml file
xml2text.xsl performs an xsl transform on the xml to generate output
similar to gst-inspect
Original commit message from CVS:
- Add more --disable options
- fix makefiles to only compile non-disabled features
- some compile fixes.
- removed extratypes, added gsturitype
- make get/set clock on a bin overridable
- some portability fixes for GUINT64
- separate pools from gstregistry.[ch] into gstregistrypool.[ch]
- make gstobject size fixed, even if we disabled load/save
- don't use 'new' as a variable as it is not a valib C++ variable
