Audacious dependancies problem

Hi
after an update of Audacious package to the newsest version
audacious failed to start. The problem is that the maintainer didn't include libmcs in the
requirements array in the PKGBUILD file.

Yes and also because of "fluidsynth" depends, it install jack-audio-connection-kit. audacious-plugins-1.2.5-3 version jack is optional!

Re: Audacious dependancies problem

I would seriously recommend the maintainer to actually read whats new (audacious-media-player.org) to avoid this kind of mistakes in the future...
I quote;

Also, you should note that 1.3 requires libmcs in order to build and run.

You shouldn't have to edit a PKGBUILD this way, to make a package in "extra" to run. Where's the quality control?

Chill please.

A bug has been reported, and a fix is on the way.

You've never made a mistake?

Re: Audacious dependancies problem

only humans make mistakes

edit: btw was it just me or did the player start as if it was running for the first time? settings lost etc. probably cause i launched it the 1st time with the 1.2.5 plugins

Apologies - if you notice, I did bring libmcs from AUR/unsupported into [extra] for this very purpose, I just accidentally listed it as a makedepend instead of a full dependency.  Small mistake, I'm fixing now.

Arg - jack is supposed to be optional, I don't know why I put fluidsynth in there.  It's removed in the coming fix... I must have been mighty tired when I packaged up this update.

Re: Audacious dependancies problem

Having another weird problem too:  for some reason it's no longer finding the custom skins that I have installed in ~/.audacious/Skins

Anyone have any idea?

FYI - the skins are .wsz files.  Should that make a difference?  (I'd think no, since they always worked in the past, but you never know.)

Dolby - what did you mean by this?  Skins are working for you?

Re: Audacious dependancies problem

Never mind - problem solved.  They moved the audacious config directory from ~/.audacious to ~/.local/share/audacious
