UVF exception 0.17 -> 0.18

I agree. I tried to remove gstreamer 0.8 today, since it has been moved to universe, but was told that doing so would remove quodlibet as well. quodlibet 0.17 can use either version of gstreamer, but quodlibet 0.18 depends on gstreamer 0.10. If nothing else, the package's dependencies need to be updated.

I assigned this bug to the motu-uvf team, who grant or deny exceptions. Now you'll need to follow these instructions to get an exception:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2006-February/000545.html

I wish I could help more, but I'm kinda new at this whole Malone thing...

I'm requesting an update too!
Updating will avoid to install gstreamer0.8.
I don't know where to find diffstat and changelog...

OK, I think I've got it!

Next time please attach the files instead, but looks good to me - thanks.

OK, it was my first UVF exception :)
Hope 0.18 will touch the repositories soon!

Looks fine to me... thanks for getting rid of another gst0.8 package :)

fine with me, proceed with uploading

This is the 0.18 deb I got from checkinstall, it works for me.
Is it OK?

This package seems to need python-mutagen, which we don't have.

we don't accept binary packages. please provide a sourcepackage with minimal difference to our existing package

That's something I never did, I should study how to do it and I will, but if meanwhile someone has a better package please submit it!

quodlibet 0.18 and mutagen are already in debian... we can probably just sync them. but before that we have to get a solution for mutagen not beeing in ubuntu yet. Daniel, Reinhard? Can we also give FF exceptions? Or should this be forwarded to mdz or Kamion?

http://packages.qa.debian.org/q/quodlibet.html
http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mutagen.html

The latter.

Well, python-mutagen is a really small, unrisky package. I don't have objections to include it after feature freeze.

The main reason for this update is to drop a further dependency of gstreamer-0.8, beside further upstream work on bugs. this is a pretty major new feature, which needs to be tested. Pavel, did you really try out the new version of quodiet? Does it work with new gstreamer without visible regressions or limitations?

Matt, what is your feeling on syncing mutagen, which is not in Ubuntu yet, but in Debian in this particular case?

I have no objections to new packages in universe as a rule

Ok, I asked just because of "Since entirely new packages in universe are relatively safe and attract a number of new developers, they will be liberally admitted until FeatureFreeze if they do not require additional or newer dependencies." on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseProcess

> Pavel, did you really try out the new version of quodiet?
I filed this bug on the day when I manually installed quodlibet 0.18 and I was using it as my primary audio player since then.
In this period I could not discover anything odd - but I was using rhythmbox before...

ok, mutagen is in NEW now... afterwards I'll upload quodlibet

quodlibet 0.18 was uploaded some seconds ago
