Original commit message from CVS:
Fix permissions problems: the directory will now always be created mode
2755. In addition, the temporary file is given restricted permissions, and
the permissions on the registry file are preserved if one already exists,
or 666 (and modified by the umask) if one doesn't already exist.
Original commit message from CVS:
Folling wtays suggestion, I was going to start using xmlDocDump, to
avoid a symlink attack on the temporary registry file. Unfortunately,
xmlDocDump doesn't give any indication whether its successful, so I've
#ifdefed this out and left the original in place. Since the tmp file
is in /etc/gstreamer, this should be okay for the moment, but I shall
ask the libxml people to add some way of getting the success value of
DocDump so we can use that in future.
Original commit message from CVS:
gstreamer-register will now never cause the
** WARNING **: gstplugin: registry needs rebuild
warning to appear - sets a hidden global in gstplugin.c to turn the
warning off.
Fix a warning in gst/cothreads.c (function was declared extern, defined
static)
Original commit message from CVS:
Check plugin repository up-to-dateness by scanning through all directories
on path, and checking that they and all their files are older than the
repository. Give warning message if not.
Original commit message from CVS:
Test xmlSaveFile return value correctly (had to get source to find out
what it meant...) gstreamer-register now seems to work fine, even in
a non-standard location.
Original commit message from CVS:
Config directory (which currently just holds the registry)ecan now be set
by configure --with-configdir=<directory path>
Original commit message from CVS:
Almost completely rewritten gstreamer-register.
Now checks most errors that can happen, and displays a useful message.
Original commit message from CVS:
Header cleanup: try to include as little as possible; this will probably
speed up compilation a bit.
changed the .c files to use #include "..."
Fix for the 'plugins are loaded twice' bug.
Fix 22186: GstObject flags are now used everywhere. Added *_FLAG_LAST so
elements do not use the same flags. Added some padding in the flag enum
for future expansion.
Original commit message from CVS:
Externalized the plugin information in /etc/gstreamer/reg.xml
- no need to do a plugin_load_all()
- plugins are loaded when needed
- typedetect functions are loaded when needed (still buggy)
- no need to check for the existance of the plugin in the codecs
- added gstreamer-register to create the reg.xml file
- renamed launch to gstreamer-launch
- plugins need to register the typefactory they provide
modified the plugins to meet the new design
modified the plugins to correctly set their pad types
autoplugging can be done without loading the plugins now
