Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 13.04 contains 2 packages with the same software:
- jplayer: Ubuntu-only package, contains an old version (1.2.0). It was also
available in 12.10.
- libjs-jquery-jplayer + jquery-jplayer-bluemonday + jquery-jplayer-pinkflag:
the Debian package (which I'm the maintainer of), contains a newer version
(2.1.0, to be updated this week due to a security fix). It has become available
in 13.04.
IMHO, jPlayer should be provided with the libjs-jquery-jplayer package
and the 'jplayer' package be reduced to a transitional package.
The transition plan would be like this:
- I will add to libjs-jquery-jplayer these fields: "Replaces: jplayer (<<
2.1.0~)" and "Conflicts: jplayer (<< 2.1.0~)" and maintain them at least until
Ubuntu 12.10 runs ouf of support.
- You will add to jplayer this field: "Depends: libjs-jquery-jplayer". This
package needs to be separately maintained because I will not be providing it in
Debian (it is not required and violates the archive policy).
Please tell me what you think
