[Bug 414520] New: Online Update request for Banshee 1.2
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=414520 Summary: Online Update request for Banshee 1.2 Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: ast@novell.com ReportedBy: abockover@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: coolo@novell.com, cthiel@novell.com Found By: --- We would like to ship Banshee 1.2 as an online update to openSUSE 11.0. The 1.2 release brings the full feature parity that the previous Banshee series had (0.13.2 in openSUSE 10.3) and users may be used to. We shipped Banshee 1.0 without a few key features that we've historically had since we believed the 1.0 release had more substantial features and was far more stable, and we wanted this to be available directly in openSUSE 11.0. 1.2 brings many bug fixes and the return of a few features some users may have enjoyed: * Internet Radio * Music Recommendations * DAAP/Music Sharing Additionally, there are two new major features that were implemented in the 1.2 time frame due to the huge demand from the community: * Mulit-Artist (Various/Compilation) album support * 10-Band Software Equalizer Along with some smaller features/polish. Finally, 82 bugs were FIXED since 1.0. We believe it would be very valuable and desirable for openSUSE 11/Banshee 1.0 users to have Banshee 1.2 delivered through the primary online update channel. With the Banshee 1.2 release, we can fully deprecate the legacy code base (0.13.x) since there is full feature parity, drastically improved performance and stability, and heaps of new features above and beyond that of the 0.13.x series. http://banshee-project.org/download/archives/1.2.0/ Thank you for the consideration! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Christoph likes the idea, and I think it's worth it just for the fixes alone, but I'll just wait for him to weigh in on his own.

Since Banshee is the default player for SLED it is important that we get this in the hands of openSUSE 11 users sooner rather than later. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

then blog about one-click installs!
Ah, if my blog only wielded that much influence. :-) Actually, since we are using the openSUSE releases as a pre-cursor to the SLED product we're hoping that we've got some openSUSE users that may not necessarily be keen to the idea of adding different repos, etc. So, presenting users with a new Banshee would be advantageous. Since Banshee is a leaf component I think it should be pretty safe. What do you think? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

And we don't want to spend too much time on openSUSE updates - and these kind of discussions are eating a lot of time. And as such we have a cristal clear and transparent policy: no version updates unless security updates are otherwise impossible. Please stick to it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
