Hi,
This package is really lagging after upstream (current Debian
package: 0.11-2.1+b1, current upstream 0.16 at least). The packaged
version has a lot of problems that have been fixed upstream.
#554528 is a wishbug for the new upstream, tagged "pending" by
the maintainer (without any message) on 16 Mar 2010,
with several people that, at one time or another, made the work to
upgrade the package, some of them even talked about hijacking the
package.
However, the current maintainer only add the tag "pending" and
write *one* message about a problem in icon licensing, problem that
seems to be fixed for nearly one year according to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=554528#59
For myself, I used the packaging done by sebastien.villemot to
upgrade to 0.16 (for interested users, you can find the source package
and the binary for amd64 on my private repo, see my signature).
Note that this version compiles correctly with libav. So the
serious bug #638244 seems to have been handled upstream.
I would really welcome some inputs from the maintainer. Is it MIA?
Does he still take care of this package? Should he add a RFH? Or should
he co-maintain this package within the pkg-multimedia team? ...
Regards,
Vincent
