Those who need to support older versions of Centos with newer versions of 
Openoffice should come forward and do the work!

also a valid argument. ;-)

How about we ask the community if we need to support centOS6?
If no one uses CentOS6 maybe we make a fuzz for nothing. I am not aware that 
another distro is using that old versions.

The important thing is how much users we say we need to extend the support to 
CentOS 6?

I would also include the symbolic patch that Damjan provided. So we can build 
gstreamer support in general, but do not have to deliver it.

I am setup to be able to provide both CentOS5 Linux builds, for "old"
systems (and gstreamer 0.10), and Ubuntu-or-CentOS6 Linux builds for
newer ones (and gstreamer 1.x), so if that is the decision, that's fine
w/ me. It increases, substantially, the total volume of releases we
need to do, which is a factor, so we need to make sure our distro
channel is aware.

I just don't like the one "making" that decision... but that's the only
one I'm qualified to make since that's the only one I'm qualified to
adjust trunk to represent (that is, pull the gstreamer-0.10 stuff from
4.1.5 and reincorporate it into trunk to exist in parallel w/ the new
gstreamer-1.x stuff in there now).

FWIW, our inability to follow-through on this single issue is quite
bothersome to me...

I think the hope is to continue using CentOS5 for our official AOO

community builds. If not, then this becomes much easier, but it is,
IMO, a major policy decision to do that. recall that gstreamer-1.x is
incompatible w/ CentOS5.

I have no idea how to do #2 but #1 looks like simple brute force.

Certainly not elegant but if that's what it takes to get past this
holding pattern, then that's what we have to do.

Some packages provides builds both for old and new systems.
E.g. here ( https://www.onlyoffice.com/en/download-desktop.aspx )

presented

packages both for old Debian and Ubuntu (Debian 7, Ubuntu 12.04 ) and

their new releases (Debian 8, Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 18.04 ).

Could it be a solution to prepare separate packages?
