add openh264

add open264 repo

[13werwolf13]

it was only after I made the changes that I noticed that /usr/share/licenses/gstreamer-1.20-plugin-openh264 conflicts between the gstreamer-plugins-bad-codecs and gstreamer-1.20-plugin-openh264 packages. so I created a pr in draft. I think I need to contact the maintainer of the gstreamer-plugins-bad-codecs package in the packman repo to rule out this conflict. but I don't know how to do it.

[13werwolf13]

I write email to packman@links2linux.de and am awaiting a response. I will be glad if someone more knowledgeable can help.

This file conflict should be resolved with this request: https://pmbs.links2linux.org/request/show/5684 (gstreamer-plugins-bad-codecs >= 1.22.0-2.1) Can you try again and check if installing gstreamer-plugins-bad-codecs and gstreamer-1.20-plugin-openh264 simultaneously works now?

I made a request to fix it for Leap 15.4, too: https://pmbs.links2linux.org/request/show/5685 Leap 15.3 is EOL so it shouldn't matter there.

[13werwolf13]

so, i do some changes. now that's code work on tumbleweed and leaap to. thanx @NikitaBeloglazov for the python advice pr can be approwed after that

[DarkWav]

pr can be approwed after that

Packman SR was accepted, so we are good to go, right?

in the morning I double-checked everything on clean, freshly created lxc containers. I confirm that both leap and tumbleweed work correctly.

[13werwolf13]

as I understand it, it's time to invite @asdil12 to this thread

[lkocman]

Just please keep in mind that we use version-less Leap repository. I'm not sure to what %project espands in the changes. So I'm rather raising the fact.

[lkocman]

One thing to keep in mind is that users, who will do a new install of Leap 15.5 or TW will have repository enabled by default.

[asdil12]

@13werwolf13 I pushed some changes to this PR on my own to detect if the openh264 repo is already present as @lkocman mentioned. Could you have another check if it works? Please also test if it works when the openh264 repo is already added but has a name (repo name in the .repo file contents and filename of the .repo file) other than openh264.

[13werwolf13]

@asdil12 I downloaded the repo file directly from the repository, it has a different name. the definition seemed to work correctly, but I see it. So far I don't understand what went wrong.

the behavior is the same for both leap and tumbleweed

[asdil12]

Could you show me an ls of your /etc/zypp/repos.d directory and the contents of the openh264 repo file?

[asdil12]

In the meantime I think I found the issue and pushed some fixes. Could you try again with the latest version?

now it works as it should!

thanks for your work!

[13werwolf13]

@asdil12 a question from the community: in what release will these changes be (how soon to expect in the distribution's repositories)?

[asdil12]

The changes are included in opi 2.13.0. For tumbleweed it depends when the submit request (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1065419) is accepted. It should be merged in the next two days or so. Then it is in Factory and the next (successfully tested) snapshot of Factory will be released as tumbleweed. That usually happens every two to three days. So I would expect it to hit tumbleweed next week.

If you want to try it out earlier, you can install the newest version of opi from the utilities devel repo using opi ;).

[asdil12]

Another SR as it turns out that libcurl doesn't like a redirect from the https repo to the http cisco CDN: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1065545

The url for the gpgkey stays https.
