Please recompile GStreamer codecs -- AKA: how to make things just work with PackageKit

I've been playing with the new code in PackageKit for codec installing
with external repos. It was a little disappointed to find some external
repos have not recompiled packages with a new gstreamer-devel and rpm.

This means packages display this:

[hughsie at localhost docs]$ rpm -qp /home/hughsie/gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.4-1.rph10.x86_64.rpm --provides
 libgstffmpeg.so()(64bit)  
 libgstpostproc.so()(64bit)  
 gstreamer-ffmpeg = 0.10.4-1.lvn10

rather than this:

 [hughsie at localhost docs]$ rpm -qp --provides /home/hughsie/rpmbuild/RPMS/gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.4-1.rph10.x86_64.rpm
 gstreamer0.10(decoder-application/gxf)()(64bit)  
 gstreamer0.10(decoder-application/mxf)()(64bit)  
 gstreamer0.10(decoder-application/ogg)()(64bit)  
.. a million mode code strings...
 libgstffmpeg.so()(64bit)  
 libgstpostproc.so()(64bit)  
 gstreamer-ffmpeg = 0.10.4-1.lvn10

All you need to do is recompile, and everything will be done
automatically. It would be disappointing to not have this fixed before
F10.

Thanks,

Richard.
