Audacious 2.0.1 has been released. Unfortunately it is still so bug-ridden that I'm not going to package it 
Only one bug I encountered in 1.5.1 is fixed and I've already seen a couple of new ones... and the NEWS says there are likely to be LOTS of new bugs 
If you want a decent audio player use xmms or pmusic or gnomemplayer... _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |

I have noticed that you have not filed any bugs against audacious 2.x. Infact, I have noticed that no puppy users have filed any bugs. Bugs can be filed at http://jira.atheme.org/ . Also, I think you owe us an apology for your commentary against our projects. It's literally the least you could do. I think you should stop packaging Audacious altogether, and let someone who is committed to working with upstream take over. We are not happy about this post at all. |

Yes, sorry. I didn't mean so much to criticise, rather to draw attention to the fact that a new version is out, and warn people not to expect it to be really bug-free (as the NEWS also does).
IIRC the new ones I saw had already been filed by other people. The old ones I'm not sure about, but they are all well known and in the past I've got patches for them from distributions such as Debian, so I kind of assumed (maybe incorrectly) that they would be known about upstream. I guess I should go through and check that they are filed.
Just FYI I've never packaged Audacious, but I was considering it. I'm actually a little surprised no one else has packaged it for Puppy yet. _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |

Ok.
Audacious 2.x is considerably better than 1.5 ever was. 2.1 which is due out by the end of June should resolve any regressions that weren't intentional. Saying that "xmms is better" or whatever isn't even factual. Audacious 2.0.1 has less bugs than 1.5, and Audacious generally has less bugs than XMMS. The warning in NEWS is due to a fundamental rewrite effort to introduce needed sanity into the remaining parts of the code which were largely untouched since XMMS times, and it warns that there MAY be bugs. There MAY be bugs in Audacious 1.5 too, but the amount of work done was much less invasive, so we didn't feel that a warning was necessary. |

It is a matter of opinion whether xmms is better or not, but I've never noticed a bug in xmms, whereas I've noticed maybe a dozen in Audacious (some of them quite serious, like the one where all the error messages rapidly fill up your hard drive. Is there a way to restrict the size of the error log?). So even if xmms has more bugs (xmms has been around so long I would have expected them to be ironed out by now), they seem to be obscure. _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |

I'd really rather you didn't. Guys, don't be ridiculous. His point was that we should be filing bugs instead of just criticising. That's just what I intend to do when I have the time to wade through all and see if there are any that haven't already been filed. What about you?
It's almost as impressive as amigo turning up anywhere a GTK1.2 app is mentioned, or the mtPaint guy for that matter
