OK, I hate to distress you, but glib is not going to be upgraded in the
5.x branch lifetime, because it will break the dependencies for GNOME
and there is NO way to provide it on RPMForge w/o breaking things for
the same reason.
By the way you might have noticed that RH does not do major version
bumps ('feature' updates) in the x.y releases and usually only backports
patches for security issues.
We will most likely get newer glib with RHEL6 when it is out. Until then
you can still try to rebuild pre-1.4-rc1 versions for RHEL5 as one of
the developers kindly suggested. This is the only way around.
Hope that clears up the Audacious issue. Once you understand the RH
release cycle you will realize why your requests for updated versions of
core libraries and 'feature' releases of the rarely used GUI software
(under RHEL) are unsuccessful.
Hi Yury,
Thank you for clearing that up. I was thinking that glic was
just one of many little helper utilities and did not realize
it was a "core" utility or realize the extent upgrading it
would cause so much collateral damage.
I did take the developer's advice on the other site. In
comment #9 you will see "I did manage to jam Fedora Code's
audacious-1.3.2-1.fc7.i386.rpm on to my machine with the
"rpm --nodeps" command." 1.3.2 works okay, but does not play
OGG files. But, SMPlayer and VLC do, so ...
I appreciate your in depth response. And, you were
not only knowledgeable but also polite and well mannered.
You caused no distress. (I am pretty thick skinned anyway.
I do tend to get called a moron every now and then. Usually
means that the ill mannered person does know the answer.)
Many thanks,
