Hi,
does anyone (maybe Dave?) have a plan for feeding the updated packages in multimedia:* repos to Tumbleweed? There are already a few version updates and fixes, and they look like good candidates.
Greg, if we have choices of packages, what is the next step? Will you just link them from openSUSE:Factory in OBS Tumbleweed project?
thanks,
Takashi

For what it is worth, if you have bugfixes we should push out as regular 11.4 maintenance updates, contact maintenance@opensuse.org.
Ciao, Marcus

I haven't yet explored tumbleweed, I believe it's meant to supply updates after release? or am I getting it mixed up with something else. I've been getting settled in at Packman and working with a Fedora packager on a multi distro blender. I've just about finished updating hydrogen which is two versions old and has switched to scons as a result needed a spec file rewrite. Blender's release is next month as well.

it's the "rolling release" openSUSE version. If I undserstood it well (not sure!), it means any package maintainer having a package in factory is asked to quote if the package is stable (and then to be included in tumbleweed)
this should ask little to the maintainer (some sort of clic a link)
that said it's a work in progress, but for sure, for multimedia it should be nice!
thanks jdd

As jdd already explained, Tumbleweed is a rolling update. The packages handled there should be regarded as "stable enough", so we don't have to rush if any newer version comes up.
For example, the update of basic multimedia libraries such as libvorbis, libsndfile are good for Tumbleweed. Also updates of vorbis-tools or sox would be easily done, too.
What package can be in this category? The packages that have been updated since 11.4 (from my memory) are
- sox - gstreamer* - vorbis-tools - libsndfile - taglib - libao - alsa-tools - pulseaudio
The last two, alsa-tools and pulseaudio, are no version updates and will be done through 11.4-update channel. Others with version updates are good for Tumbleweed.
It'd be nice anyone help for filling up the list with things I missed...
thanks,
Takashi

I'll test hydrogen first of course, I've removed kde3 from it completely as it's become a qt4 app.

That should be all from mulitmedia:libs

Is this submitted to Factory?

Yes, but not all of them aren't in Factory, and not always seen "stable enough". It shouldn't break others much. So, we need sensible choices.
I think we should test in two stages:
1. in home:x:branches:*, for local tests 2. in multimedia:* repo for integration tests
Then the package can be submitted to Factory. If this update is needed / good for Tumbleweed, ask Greg to create a link from Factory. If the link was already created before, Tumbleweed package will be automatically updated, too.
thanks,
Takashi
