Gstreamer on ubuntu

[Wes Miller]

I'd like to update gstreamer to 0.10.30 on Ubuntu 10.04.  SShould be easy right?  Just apt-get gstreame and a dozen other bits and pieces.  Sorry, latest version known to apt-get is 10.28.

So,

1. anyone kow an ubuntu apt-get repository for current gstreamer and related products?
2. If  I just download the source tarballs and build them like normal, is there some special something I have to do to appease ubuntu?

Thanks.  Now if only the keyservers would work.  I've tried about ten and none seem to be working.

sudo add-apt-repository  ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa   only uses keyserver.ubuntu.com.


MY ERROR:  I failed to notice that keyservers require port 11371 to be open.



Sigh.

So, because I hate forum threads that just fall into the abyss and never actually answer the question:

To get the latest gStreamer on Ubuntu 10.04:

  1. From a command prompt:  sudo add-apt-repository  ppa:gstreamer-developers/ppa

        if this fails have your sysadmin open port 11371.

  2. Then either use  
           apt-get upgrade   or  
           the Synaptic package manager   or  
           aptitude  
       to upgrade your system.


Thanks to all who helped.
