The problem appears to have been that I had not succeeded in removing all Marillat's packages, despite trying to make sure I had before reporting the bug. In particular, I still had vlc packages installed which were preventing phonon-backend-vlc from upgrading. After reinstalling all the vlc (and xine) related packages I was able to install libavcodec-extra-53. I still think it would have been easier if libavcodec-extra-53 had either Provides: libavcodec53 or, even better, really was just extras without replacing libavcodec53 at all.

I made some local git branches with the upstream source of 3.5.2 and 3.5.3, with patches applied. Updating to 3.5.3 allowed us to drop all the 3.5.2 patches: $ git show --stat 3.5.2-withpatches'^' | tail -1 7 files changed, 135 insertions(+), 100 deletions(-) So, taking into account this, the stat becomes: $ git diff 3.5.2-withpatches..3.5.3-withpatches --stat \ | tail -1 52 files changed, 631 insertions(+), 198 deletions(-) However, a big chunk of that is documentation updates: $ git diff 3.5.2-withpatches..3.5.3-withpatches --stat \ -- HelpSource/| tail -1 18 files changed, 439 insertions(+), 131 deletions(-) That leaves as with a diff of: 34 files changed, 192 insertions(+), 67 deletions(-) Of that, most of it is bugfixes, and an un-deprecation of a few methods. > > Why did you import 3.5.3 instead of working on fixing 3.5.2?

I understand. But on the other hand, we would prefer shipping upstreams latest version, which is why I asked if there was a chance we could convince you. In particular, since 3.5 sc has a new Qt based widget system, and debian does not have any other sc widget system (AFAICT, they were all third party), wheezy users would not be able to build SC GUIs. Dan can probably tell of more advantages of 3.5 over 3.4. That's why I asked if there was a chance that we could convince you. I wasn't asking if we had clearance yet. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Realtime I/O priority for MPlayer is needed when some other application is fully loading hard drive. It prevents empty buffer in MPlayer.

Re: Fixing #654506 and #674386 in Wheezy
Hi - It's easy to fix #654506 because supercollider never used waf so the file can simply be deleted in repacking a ~dfsg version, and build will still work fine. I don't want to work on #674386 because working on the scons build is a waste of time when we've junked it long ago, and the bug is apparently caused by a limitation in dh's handling of scons, i.e. not code I have any expertise in. Does anyone have a patch that might fix it? If so then maybe we can go for it. Dan 2012/7/11 Mehdi Dogguy : > Hi, > > We would like to fix #654506 and #674386 in Wheezy.
