HI,
I've been maintaining GStreamer Jessie, Stretch and Buster backports
for quite some time now, but never made the available, one of the
reasons being the lack of a good Debian PPA. It seems that this is a
discussion that is at least 10 years old.
At first, I tried to use the Ubuntu PPAs [1], working under the
assumption that Focal was close enough to Buster so that the built
packages could be used on Buster.
Unfortunately, glibc and glib on focal were more recent; breaking
compatibility with buster.
After poking around for some time, it turns out that the only 'PPA'
that can be used is the SuSE Open Build System [2].
The repository contains the packages critical for the backport of
GStreamer while trying to keep the changes minimal in GStreamer itself
[3].
At the moment, I have backported the bugfix release of yesterday on
Buster (OBS link [2]), but not yet on Ubuntu Focal [1]), though it
should be easy enough to do if there is interest.
Some of the packages that are published on OBS contain a mini-buildd
versioning, but I'll adjust that when upload a rebuild.
Everything is available on Salsa [4]
Feedback welcome.
