Dear packagers & everyone Long time user, first time releaser here. After some years of alpha, I am happy to to announce the immediate availability of Amarok 3.0 beta, version number 2.9.82.
I am doing this process based on the project's somewhat archaic RELEASE_HOWTO instructions, so please don't hesitate to inform me if something should be done differently nowadays. Here you can find the beta tarball for the upcoming 3.0 release: https://download.kde.org/unstable/amarok/2.9.82/ amarok-2.9.82.tar.xz.mirrorlist sha256sum: amarok-2.9.82.tar.xz 6c919bc01c34b85da0c7c276c740b5e712766824ddda04e3f2f276ebdbd3f8f8 Depending on reactions, we plan to release another beta or the final 3.0 about 3 weeks from now but please make this available to users via a specialized beta archive for packaging if possible. We hope to get as much testers for this beta. 3.0 is/will be KF5-based. After possibly some 3.0.x bugfix releases, an effort will be made to port to Qt6/KF6, and hopefully have such version available in this year still. Thanks for packaging.
