Gstreamer-plugins splitting ports .. needs testing and feed back ?

[Michael Johnson]

Hi,
	I've tried to get ahold of lioux@ for a while now trying to talk to 
him about splitting multimedia/gstreamer-plugins in to separate ports
for each plugin but I have not yet received a reply. So I have started 
splitting up gstreamer-plugins in to separate ports for each plugin
I've spent about 5hours on it so far and I have completed a separate 
plugin for ever plugin we had before, 47 in all and all working. I have 
a working
bsd.gstreamer.mk for use of WANT_GSTREAMER & USE_GSTREAMER=PLUGIN and 
one working port using USE_GSTREAMER, which is audio/rhythmbox

I used NetBSD's pkgsrc a guide to see what they have done to split up 
gstreamer-plugins, can be viewed here 
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/multimedia/gst-plugins/
Makefile.common has all the goodies. Gentoo's Portage also does this 
and it gave me a few ideas also.

 From my checklist I feel like I'm 90% done, but the last 10% will take 
90% of the time.

Checklist:

  Done:
   - bsd.gstreamer.mk
   - separate gstreamer-plugins in single ports (47 new ports)

  Todo:
   - Retest all the ports
   - Figure out which ports use gstreamer-plugins and which plugins each 
needs
   - Code cleanup, spelling, any conflicts or needed dependencies within 
gstreamer-plugins

  In-Question:
   -  Figure out how to make configure faster and not check so much and 
only check what it needs
        it takes longer to configure a gstreamer-plugins-X port than it 
does to build
   - Should sys/ plugins also be separated in to their own ports (this 
includes cdrom, vcd, and oss audio)?
      as of now they are built by default

Please check it out and see

Positive and negative feedback is greatly appreciated

Cheers,
