Details

The gstreamer 0.10 plugins have a group of their own which allows easy installation of all the plugins.
The same thing could be done for the gst 1.0 plugins.

A group named gst-plugins with contents:

gst-libav
gst-plugins-bad
gst-plugins-base
gst-plugins-good
gst-plugins-ugly
This task depends upon

The reason for a gst-plugins group in gstreamer 0.10 comes from the time when we had 40+ packages in that group because each and every plugin was split in the past. The groups still existing for gstreamer 0.10 are legacy. IMHO there's no reason to do this for gstreamer 1.0.

I havent got strong feelings about this. Feel free to close. Id like to note that one user didnt know about gst-libav  FS#32089

It was me that reported the other "bug"  FS#32809 .
I was on a new installation and the gst-libav wasn't mentioned anywhere because of the name change.
But if gst-libav automatically replaces gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg on existing installations and the wiki is updated accordingly when the new gstreamer goes to extra I don't think the group is necessary, either.

"if gst-libav automatically replaces gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg"

Thats not gonna happen, so the wiki will have to suffice :)
