21 No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to
22 cover up the truth - these plugins are Bad with a capital B.
23 They look fine on the outside, and might even appear to get the job done, but
24 at the end of the day they're a black sheep. Without a golden-haired angel
25 to watch over them, they'll probably land in an unmarked grave at the final
29 Don't bug us about their quality - exercise your Free Software rights,
30 patch up the offender and send us the patch on the fastest steed you can
31 steal from the Confederates. Because you see, in this world, there's two
32 kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig.
36 This module contains a set of plugins that aren't up to par compared to the
37 rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something
38 - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live
39 maintainer, or some actual wide use. If the blanks are filled in they might be
40 upgraded to become part of either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly,
41 depending on the other factors.
42 If the plugins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the
43 problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you.
44 New contributors can start here for things to work on.
47 Other modules containing plugins are:
51 contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
53 contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
55 contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
58 contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
