There is a xine-ui-0.99.11 release, but it is unbuildable due to a call to a

The mailing lists for this package on sourceforge are less than informative.
I don't think any devs read them.


I'm subscribed to xine-devel.


FWIW, I reported your findings to that list and got a reply:

there is no indication there about development vs stable versions.

I'll go ahead and update currency to use https://www.xine-project.org/home,
but I note that is has been a long time (2017-12-28) since the last release.

I think that's how things always used to be : nowadays, don't we
usually complain about _too_frequent_ releases ? ;-)

I do. But generally it's when there are more than one release in a month. Another complaint is when upstream does not identify release vs development. Occasionally gnome has been known to release a 'stable' release that requires a 'development' library.
