Yep... We needed to update our community build server from CentOS5 to CentOS7 due to gstreamer. There was talk about working around that, but it never came to fruition. One option is that we provide 2 sets of community builds for Linux: one on CentOS5 w/o gstreamer and one built on CentOS7 w/ gstreamer. It's a little more work, but I don't mind.
