Re: xmms into universe?
* [Jan Claeys] The Gtk1 XMMS has been ported to Gtk2 under the name beep-media-player. Some time ago the beep-media-player people started a new project (BMPx), but the classic BMP was forked to become the Audacious project, which is essentially the latest version of XMMS now. (XMMS en classic BMP aren't supported by their upstreams anymore, but Audacious is.) See: http://audacious.nenolod.net/Main_Page (Audacious is available in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty.) As for basic functionality (my personal use case), it seems Audacious is a perfectly fine drop-in replacement for xmms. The functionality I use is: * Codecs: mp3, vorbis, flac, musepack. * xmms directory/ playing all music files in the directory in reasonable (alphabetical) order. * Same as above, but xmms -e directory/ for enqueuing. * Song change plugin runs a shell script that updates one of those now playing macros everyone hates. The basic conversion from xmms to audacious seems to have taken me all of 10 minutes, including porting the configuration for the song change plugin and browsing through the preferences dialog. Only problems I've run into so far: * Default skin of audacious is fugly to my eyes (easily fixable) * Need to retrain my fingers to type audacious instead of xmms. I suppose an alias of sorts might be in order, not to mention uninstalling xmms. Conclusion: Pointless post, but popcon --xmms ++audacious.

Re: I'd like to discuss how difficult it is to add a third party repository
Eek, once again, I managed to accidentally reply off-list. :-P -- Forwarded message -- From: William Tracy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: May 29, 2007 5:46 AM Subject: Re: I'd like to discuss how difficult it is to add a third party repository To: Christopher Halse Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 5/29/07, Christopher Halse Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Since software-properties-gtk is already a mime handler for sources.list, could we extend s-p to be a mime-handler for a more general repository-specification file? Something with a format including such things as gpg key-id and keyserver, comment, and possibly a list of mirrors. Then a user could click on an add wine repository link, and be presented with a sane dialog verifying that they really want to add the winehq.whereever.org/apt repository, signed by foo, to their software sources. Last year, I considered writing a proposal for Summer of Code to do just that. I wrote another proposal instead that sucked and got rejected. :-P -- William Tracy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] gcc -Wall Larry.c -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Transmission for default torrent client in Gutsy!
Hi, I saw that the great and userfriendly BitTorrent client Transmission finally found it's way into Gutsy. This is exactly what Ubuntu needs in the default desktop. Install Transmission 0.72 and see if you agree with me...
