New Banshee.....Is it in the works?

rdking · 2008-01-13 20:15:47

Just wondering if the community is working on packaging the new banshee -0.13-2, for gtk users who have new ipods.

All of the dependancies aren't yet availible in packages, in the repos:

they are as follows:

Dependencies

* Mono 1.2.x and full stack
* gtk-sharp-2.0 2.8 or 2.10
* GStreamer 0.10.3 or better (0.10.12+ Recommended)
* sqlite3
* libmusicbrainz 2.1.1 or better
* libnautilus-burn 2.12 or better
* GTK+ 2.8 or better
* HAL 0.5.2 or better (0.5.6+ Recommended)

it would be nice to be able to use ipods, without resorting to using Amarok or gtkpod, due to the qt requirements and usability resectively.

Package Requests is for AUR packages - banshee is an official package. It's already flagged out of date, so it will be updated in due course.

I've built the packages, but I can't host them on AUR since it violates the policy.

@SpookyET: thanks a lot for the PKGBUILDs! I couldn't wait until the updates propagate to the official package...

I've done them last week. I've emailed them to the maintainer, but he is responsible for many packages. Who knows when they'll hit /extra.

bender02 · 2008-02-13 02:28:50

I guess that's all you can do. I bet the maintainers have full hands with work... I'm quite amazed how often there are some updates... always something.

We are in charge of Arch, not some corporation. Read the wiki on how to create packages, read the http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=38 and look at the orphans on AUR. Get to work!

It's simple. I only started to use Linux in December. I'm not a geek who has used Linux since 1991. That should emphasize how simple it is. Though, I have computer knowledge.

I'm not quite sure I expressed myself properly in my last post. What I meant to say is: kudos! to devs of archlinux. Lots of work. Understandable that they cannot update each core/extra package immediately after an update is out upstream.

In this case, I was just a bit lazy to create/modify PKGBUILDs. I know how to do it, I maintain a couple of packages in AUR already.

Thank your very much SpookyET for your work !
For your information : Package podsleuth does not compile multi-thread (make -j2).
You can add options=('!makeflags') to the PKGBUILD to avoid such problems.

Thanks !
Cheers,

Chicha

Banshee 0.98.1 released just yesterday: there's a such big gap between the two version numbers :|

It's an alpha... From their website:

This is the first release in the Banshee 1.0 series. This Alpha 1 release does not have feature parity' with previous Banshee releases (the last being Banshee 0.13.2). This means there are a number of features in this release that users may have come to know and love in Banshee that are missing for the time being.
However, although this is an Alpha release, it is quite stable and has many great new features and performance improvements which will be detailed later. It has also been designed to be both installed and run in parallel with previous Banshee releases, so you can test the release out without breaking your stable Banshee setup.

SpookyET · 2008-03-14 16:37:50

I'll provide packages if there are requests for it.

* Mono 1.2.2 (.NET 2.0 Profile / gmcs)
* SQlite 3.4
* Gtk# 2.8
* GStreamer 0.10.3

* NDesk DBus (ndesk-dbus) 0.5
* NDesk DBus GLib (ndesk-dbus-glib) 0.3
* Mono.Addins (mono-addins) 0.3.1
* TagLib# (taglib-sharp) 2.0

The last 2 dependencies are a problem. We have version 0.3 of Mono.Addins and TagLib# is totally missing.

It's designed to install side by side with 0.13.2.

The first one can be compiled from abs, for the second one check the PKGBUILD provided by obelix in the comments and banshee-1 will get working.

I know. I've already done that a week ago. I have not said a word because 1.0 alpha is not yet worth using.

It is named "Alpha" (well... also the 0.13.x releases weren't "final") but if you try to download it from the Banshee website, it has replaced the previous versions.

Yes but it effectively lacks several features and plugins that could be useful such as mini-mode, mtp-devices support and so on.
p.s. good-evening Sir ekerazha

Yeah, that's true... but it has several other improvements too.
