how to install essential codecs from rpmfusion to gstreamer 1.0 comparable to current script for gstreamer0.1

[James Cameron]

In the GStreamer 0.1 to 1.0 transition, the codecs and dependencies
changed, in particular gstreamer1-libav should be substituted for
gstreamer-ffmpeg.

These codecs you asked about are third-party software that do not meet
the OLPC standards for software freedom.  The use of such software is
unsupported; OLPC does not endorse or encourage its use.

Also, OLPC doesn't don't support your method of changing the
filesystem, instead we provide olpc-os-builder, because it works with
our olpc-update feature.  The codecs you asked about can be added to
your builder configuration;

Many deployments use my restricted software builds, which are based on
the open source builds, but are not available for public download.

Using a restricted software build from me means you don't have to
rerun the builder.  The build installs as usual, and has the codecs
you asked about preinstalled.

My restricted software builds are made in Australia from imported
components, using the same infrastructure as the open source builds.

If you refuse to use my restricted builds, refuse to use the builder,
don't mind your changes being lost when you use olpc-update, and don't
mind having to scale your change up to multiple laptops, then you can
add codecs after install:

sudo yum localinstall -y \
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm \
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm && \
sudo yum install -y \
  gstreamer1-{plugins-{ugly,bad-free{-extras,world},base-tools,good-extras,bad-free},libav} \
  gstreamer-{plugins-{ugly,bad},ffmpeg}

You may abstract the filesystem changes by comparing the filesystem
before and after.  I've done that with rsync between systems, in
--dry-run mode, to generate a list of changes, then tar up the changed
files.

Or, you can set keepcache=1 in /etc/yum.conf before the above install,
and save the RPMs.

Hope that helps.
