Bug 263720 – mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090322: Reports wrong version number

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nikos Chantziaras 2009-03-25 12:40:10 UTC]

I noticed that after updating to mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090322, SMPlayer can't detect MPlayer's version anymore. Sure enough, mplayer -v says:

  MPlayer 29040-4.3.3 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team

4.3.3 is the version of GCC I use. Is this versioning change intended?

OK, it turns out the "version.sh" script changed in MPlayer's SVN.  I am attaching an ebuild patch.  Please bump to mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090322-r1.

mplayer got bumped to 1.0_rc2_p20090530 today but this bug isn't fixed :P

How do I find out who the maintainer is and draw his attention to bugzilla?

epkginfo from the gentoolkit package would show you the maintainer. As you can see the bug is already assigned to the maintainer.

I fixed the bug in the 20090530 ebuild. It's such a minor change that I don't think this warrants a revbump. So just remerge this version after your next sync.

Thanks.

Though I think it does warrant a revbump since it's a functionality change, no matter how small, but in the and that's your call.
