I don't think Audacious needs any presentation, being one of the most used and loved music players. The testing version (2.4,4) brings some very nice improvements and new features over 2.3. Plus, it also fix some very annoying bugs. Volunteers? Thanks!Hi. For this purpose, I've added the Debian Multimedia Maintainers list, maybe somebody will be available to fulfill your request. Also, there is a 2.5.1 released mid may, and an alpha released few days ago. Maybe it will make more sense to wait until the 2.5.1 is uploaded to testing to think about a backport. I also think the packaging team is focused on including the 3.0 release in testing. Thanks.Hi, Thanks for cc'ing the Debian Multimedia Maintainers list, I guess there might be some folks interested in backporting Audacious there. I see your point, waiting for 2.5 could make sense, but in my view 2.4 is already a big improvement over 2.3 and has the advantage of being already in testing, ready to be backported. So, if anyone's interested, please raise your hand, having 2.4 in Squeeze would be great! Thanks,Hi. If there is nobody from the Debian Multimedia Maintainers team which is interested. I may fill the void, and try to do some work on the backport. Thanks.Hi. Here a first version, it works (I've tested it). There's a lot of things to backport, so in the next days, I will try to change audacious and audacious-plugins build dependencies to avoid backporting so many packages. It also needs the libvpx backport which I made for chromium. http://www.davromaniak.eu/vrac/backports/audacious/ If anybody can test it or review it. For testing it, you can use my repository : http://ddb.davromaniak.eu/ (deb http://ddb.davromaniak.eu/ squeeze-backports main). Thanks.Hi again. Today, I worked on cleaning these packages. And apparently, I don't need to recompile barely the whole world to backport audacious. We just need the libmowgli, audacious and audacious-plugins packages. I changed the versions needed for build dependencies on the audacious-plugins package, and I didn't see any problems during compilation and when testing the software. So I've updated the folder : http://www.davromaniak.eu/vrac/backports/audacious/ Thanks.
Hello Cyril, I've been testing your package for a while and it works beautifully!I haven't found a single issue so far, so I think it can be moved to the main backports repository.
Thank you very much for your work! -- rent0n
