I still disagree with you. A couple of reasons: There are many common uses-cases which does not involve music playing at all. While playing a music album in track order might be a good default, not everyone wants to do that.... Since the music somehow plays still, I don't see it as unusable - just inconvenient. > > >I've made 0.16 packages available in experimental but I haven't > >had much time on working at making them release quality yet. > > What is "release quality" ? How can I help, what do you need, to make > them release quality ? There's some indication that the packaged software actually works for some usecase. (For example the 0.16 version ubuntu initially where going to ship in their most recent release was severly broken - fortunately caught and fixed in time before the release.) The package doesn't miss installing files from the upstream build system. (Which is currently the case.) And I bet if/when we start looking closer we'll find more issues. So what you can help out with is basically looking/hunting for issues and fixing them. Just by looking briefly I've already identified issues exists and I'm pretty sure there are more.

This is the other side of the coin. You need to insert "for *me*" in the above sentence for it to be true. There are alot of users who are perfectly happy users of the current package which will be upset if something is broken for them now. > > I can help to make this not to happen for rygel :).
