#51488: gstreamer1-gst-plugins-bad Will Not Update -----------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: bill@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gstreamer1-gst-plugins-bad | -----------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by mta@…): It seems that gst-plugin-scanner is a helper that scans GStreamer plugins as part of rebuilding the cache of plugins. It seems to be hanging writing to a pipe back to the parent process. I have no idea why that process isn't listening. I found a discussion of what seemed to be a similar problem at https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/gstreamer- devel/2011-November/033898.html although it described a loop instead of a hang. Based on what I found there, I added {{{ build.env-append "GST_REGISTRY_FORK=no" }}} to the Portfile for gstreamer1-gst-plugins-bad. This caused it to not use gst-plugin-scanner to rebuild the cache and avoided the problem. It's not a fix, of course, but it seems to work around the problem. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51488#comment:13> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
