We haven't heard from the folks who maintain our mysql package in a while. That's a group of university students, so they may have graduated. > 2.)

Incorrect, according to my reading of its CompileScript ... cmake $KDE4_CMAKE_ARGS -DWITH_ASF:BOOL=TRUE -DWITH_MP4:BOOL=TRUE .. ... The outputs from configure checks are notoriously unreliable. If there is _any_ failure in the little C programs they use, which could be in linking an unrelated library, there is only one output to display. > 3.) amarok 2.2.2 is old. That's a matter to take up with the amarok maintainer. > What I really want is a working amarok.
