gstjpegparser

Back in August 2009 I was chatting with my old peers in Mexico, and they told me that they needed a JPEG parser element in GStreamer for their DSP accelerated JPEG decoder. So, I went to bugzilla and found a bug report about the issue and a proposed patch. But the published patch still missed some features so I took it and worked on it.

After attaching my first try, Arnout, the first author of the patch, came with some comments to improve the element. Several weeks after I retook the element and almost rewrote it again. So I was waiting for the OK from a GStreamer developer.

Finally, this week, Stefan review it and pushed it. Sadly for me, I didn’t notice, when I rebased my local commits, squashing my change set into one single commit, that this commit had as author Arnout, not me :(

Now the commit is under the Arnout’s credit.

Yeah, sometimes I’m so absentminded.

GIT quick notes

I want to work on a new plug-in inside of gst-plugins-bad. But also I want to expose my development to a personal GIT repository, so my friends could fetch my changes.

As Linus Torvalds explained once keeping a nice linear regression set of patches above an upstream development implies the use of git-rebase, nevertheless that also implies that I will have to force my pushes and my friends will also have trouble keeping their repositories in sync with mine.

So this is a kind of compromise between be nice with the people who pull your changes, or ease your daily work.
