[opensuse-kde] kaffeine for openSUSE 11.2 - and KDE433
Is there anyone here who is responsible for fixing and getting kaffeine into the 'system'? I provided some information to Christoph Pfister to locate a problem I found regarding lack of sound on some TV channels. On 18 October, Christoph wrote to me: "Ok, I've found the problem (and fixed it in svn; some ac3 audio streams weren't detected correctly). Thanks, Christoph" This is now the end of November and the problem with the sound is still there. The version of kaffeine I am running (in 11.2) is still showing as version 0.91+1.0pre2-5.1. Does anyone know when Christoph's "fix" will be finally implemented?

Thanks, Patrick, but I am running a 32-bit system..... I also have the KDE:/43/ repo selected for zypper to use so would expect the latest to be made available there - or am I wrong?

the 32-bit will be there too, but that isn't the KDE:/43/ repo.

Thank you, Herr Wernher :-) . Getting that 1.0pre2-9.3 version would be of little use to me unless Christoph's "fix" appears in it. Even the version I now have was built on 30 October, well after Christoph put the fix in. There is nothing to say that 2-9.3 will have it.

Thanks. Nah, zilch....last fix is dated 4 October and to do with translations. BC -- The best defence against logic is ignorance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Possibly - but then this is the reason for a Changelog to exist, no, for it to be kept up-to-date? :-) I'll just wait until the maintainer/packager/whoever may answer my question. Or someone who uses kaffeine to watch (terrestial) TV and can get sound on *ALL* High Definition TV channels (proving that Christoph's fix has been put in place) let's me know that the sound is working for him/her on all such channels :-) .

When Kaffeine do another (beta) release it should appear in the KDE:Bacports repo. Don't think anybody has time or will to cherrypick patches or update from vcs at random times. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Who's talking about "vcs"? Christoph mentioned svn. And I am not asking about *backporting* to some earlier version of openSUSE but I am talking about the very latest, just released, openSUSE 11.2.

Christoph mentioned svn.
And I am not asking about *backporting* to some earlier version of openSUSE but I am talking about the very latest, just released, openSUSE 11.2. vcs is any Version Control System, including svn. It is a generic term for cvs/svn/git/bzr/hg/anything.
Grabbing patches from future (e.g. unreleased svn) upstream code is the definition of backporting. So yes you are asking about backporting. What we have been trying to tell you repeatedly is that nobody is going to do a new build of kaffeine just for you for this one fix, wait till kaffeine upstream releases a new version (1.0pre3 or something) officially and we will package that release then, probably in KDE4:Backports or similar. As per the kaffeine website http://kaffeine.kde.org/ 1.0pre2 is the latest release and that is the version that is packaged in openSUSE. That is all the packages are obligated to do. Otherwise if this one fix is important to you, instead of always asking others to do the work, just copy the kaffeine package on the OBS (into your home repo or something) and add the necessary patch. While I don't want to sound negative or patronizing, it's not terribly hard considering the effort going into complaining atm.

Thanks for this information - I didn't know this.

We obviously have a different different definition of what "backporting" means. I now know what you mean by "backporting".
What we have been trying to tell you repeatedly
Ce? Who had been trying "to tell [me] repeatedly"? First I've heard that....
is that nobody is going to do a new build of kaffeine just for you for this one fix,
...the above. Nor have I asked for this to be done - just for ME. (Calm down my pounding heart...)
wait till kaffeine upstream releases a new version (1.0pre3 or something)
Then who has been "officially" releasing versions 0.9+1.0pre2-9.1 and *.pre2-9.3 (the first being built on Tues 3 Nov and the second on Wed 25 Nov and both containing the SVN patch dated Sun 4 Oct)? So, what you are saying is that these 2 "releases" are unofficial and, as such, should therefore not be available for download and installation on something like openSUSE 11.2?
officially and we will package that release then, probably in KDE4:Backports or similar.
As per the kaffeine website http://kaffeine.kde.org/ 1.0pre2 is the latest release and that is the version that is packaged in openSUSE. That is all the packages are obligated to do.
Again - Ce`?! The package available in oS is v 0.9+1.0pre2-9.x. I think we have a problem with clarity here caused by the use of too many abbreviations. Are you stating that there is a version1.0pre2?
Otherwise if this one fix is important to you, instead of always asking others to do the work, just copy the kaffeine package on the OBS (into your home repo or something) and add the necessary patch.
Firstly, it is always easy for those who know what they are doing. Secondly, I do not know what the patch is which Christoph put together - he didn't tell me.
While I don't want to sound negative or patronizing, it's not terribly hard considering the effort going into complaining atm.
And how simple would it have been for whoever built the latest version of kaffeine (0.9+1.0pre2-9.3) on the 25 November to have included the patch Christoph wrote and submitted on 18 October?
