** Description changed: Binary package hint: amule Hi all! :D - Please, wait while I'm looking for information + The current version of aMule in Ubuntu 8.04 is not a stable version + (2.2.0~svn20080218-0ubuntu4, it is a svn snapshot). Yet at the time was + more stable than 2.1.3 so it was included. + + Now it has published the final version 2.2.1 that can be considered stable (at least more than a snapshot svn) + + The main reasons why I am requesting that the upgrade program are as follows: + + * This release could be considered a bugfix release since most of the new features of aMule 2.2.1 are already included in the latest svn. Indeed! Some features are incomplete in the svn snapshot + * Version 2.2.1, to be an official launch, can be reported hypothetical errors in the program. A snapshot is svn, from the standpoint of developers, a lot of provisional code and that is no longer present at the launch stable. + * Ubuntu 8.04 is a LTS release so it will be in use at least 3 years for desktops. I do not think it advisable to maintain a snapshot svn for 3 years since "svn snapshot" is not synonymous of stability. + * At least in the forum of aMule have been reported numerous problems with the svn snapshot where developers can only advise compile a stable version or an svn latest snapshot. The end user should avoid the process of compiling whenever possible. + + Some of these problems are: + http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=14957.0 + http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=15058.0 + http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=15025.0 + http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=14901.0 + http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=14887.0 + http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=14833.0 + + And these are just one example (if I am put a full list would be too + large). Such is the problem with this svn snapshot that aMule devs are + already tired of Ubuntu. + + http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=15259.0 + + Discussion here: http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=15317.0 + + They blame the Ubuntu patches in wxGTK and crypto + + packages. But in + my opinion, Ubuntu users reports of bugs never stopped and was in this + svn when the devs are tired. + + I do not say that 2.2.1 is a "panacea" but at least is a stable version. + I am using self since he left and it seems to be more stable than + version repositories + + Here is my package based on recent sync with Debian (diff.gz taken from + aMule 2.2.1 Intrepid) + + amule (2.2.1-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low + + * New upstream release for Hardy + * debian/control + - Changed libupnp3 for libupnp2 + + -- Festor Wailon Dacoba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:11:32 + +0200
