Original commit message from CVS: registry handling changes read up on it in docs/random/thomasvs/registry if interested net effect should be transparent; ie. it will keep on working, but will be more flexible than before. Testing with garnome seems to work now. Should probably be rewritten completely, together with plugin loading, but only after we spec it out ;) It's a bit messy.

Reviewing the registry (thomasvs, April 8 2002)
|
|
|
|
* added a --gst-registry flag to the core which allows any gst app
|
|
to specify a different registry for loading/saving
|
|
|
|
some stuff to do this went into gstreamer/gst/gstregistry.h
|
|
|
|
* What location is used for writing ? (gst-register)
|
|
|
|
- if specified (using --gst-registry) then use the specified location
|
|
- if not specified :
|
|
- it can be written in the global location, do it there
|
|
(which should be sysconfdir/gstreamer) and reg.xml
|
|
- if not writable, then try ~/.gstreamer/reg.xml
|
|
|
|
* What location is used for reading ? (gst-whatever)
|
|
|
|
- if specified (using --gst-registry) then use the specified location
|
|
- if not specified :
|
|
- right now :
|
|
if local exists, only read local
|
|
if not, read global
|
|
|
|
- TODO: try reading GST_CONFIG_DIR/reg.xml first
|
|
then try reading ~/.gstreamer/reg.xml
|
|
AND replace every namespace collision with the new one
|
|
|
|
* actual variables stuff (gstregistry.c)
|
|
- use gst_registry_write_get to get a GstRegistryWrite struct back
|
|
listing the right location of dir, file and tmp file
|
|
- use gst_registry_read_get to get a GstRegistryRead struct back
|
|
listing the path of global and local file to read
|
|
|
|
* gst-register signals it's going to write to the registry (causing it to
|
|
be unlinked before the read in post_init ()) by setting a global variable,
|
|
_gst_init_write_registry
