The package isn't ready yet, but improving, so after reading that, I will upload the package. Add this line to sources list: deb http://darkshines.net/debian unstable amarok The version is 0.99, but it corresponds to 1.0-beta1, which was released yesterday. If new betas are released, I will name them 0.999, 0.9999, etc. (yes, probably not the best naming scheme, I know). So be aware it's a beta!! ;-) There are still one or two packaging issues, and gstreamer support is disabled, because gstreamer 0.8 isn't yet uploaded to debian unstable. :-( > Kaffeine is a media player for KDE that's base on Xine, and thus supports > every audio and video format I've ever heard of.

I hope it enters in debian soon, but _AFAIK_, it's needed some time since new packages are accepted. Remember how much time kde-i18n was stuck, because it shipped new languages. > P.S.

It's really good. Best regards. -- Alex (a.k.a. suy) - GPG ID 0x0B8B0BC2 http://darkshines.net/ - Jabber ID: suy@bulmalug.net
