Known issues

1. gst-plugins-plugins-bad does not build if libwyaland-dev is installed. The package is a dependency of libgtk-3-dev installed by RaspberryPi-OpenCV project. libgtk-3-dev is optional. It is necesarry to investigate if libgtk-3-dev is really required or how to fix undefined reference to gst_gl_display_wayland_get_type in GstGLWayland-1.0.c

2. cerbero build does not generate deb packages:

   -----> Creating package for gstreamer-1.0 WARNING: No specific packager available for the distro version debian_10_buster, using generic packager for distro debian WARNING: Creation of Debian packages is currently broken, please see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero/issues/56 Creating tarballs instead...

   Maybe it is better to use gst-build instead and use cerbero to install all the optional dependencies.

3. cerbero build uses prefix /usr/local and is built with sudo. Maybe it is better to build it locally and install from tarballs instead.
