freevo-1.8.1 bump request. Renaming the ebuild from freevo-1.8.0 just works, but maybe it's time to rethink the whole dependancies. Freevo depends on those optional external programs: mplayer mencoder tvtime xine lsdvd jpegtran xmame ssnes9x zsnes lame flac cdparanoia oggenc renice setterm mpav vlc dvdbackup unzip Not all of them are include in the dependancies turned on by use flags. Notably freevo depends only on mplayer or (optionally) xine, but some users could be interested in using only mplayer OR xine OR vlc. It's nothing big, but someone with some insight of gentoo use policies should chose the right use flags to turn on each application (if needed). The current freevo use flags are a little messy. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 156575 [details] freevo-1.8.1.ebuild working ebuild
Created attachment 157251 [details] freevo-1.8.1-r1.ebuild This is a proposed ebuild with these new local use flags: vlc dvdbackup tvtime xmltv I changed the use flags to let the user choose which player to install (mplayer, xine or vlc).
Is freevo getting some attention at all? It isn't that difficult, simply put the ebuild in portage, it works
Thanks for the ebuild, I'd also like to see it updated.
Did you check the new set of use flags? Did it work for you?
Created attachment 163059 [details, diff] freevo-1.8.1.ebuild Proposed new ebuild. I have not finished testing yet, I'll look into committing it later today. I included a lot of the changes proposed here, but I have not made video players optional: mplayer is required for freevo according to the documentation. xine can be enabled additionaly, and so can VLC. We would really need SUGGEST/RECOMMEND here, but it is not a dependency. If anyone wants to review it today, please leave a comment.
Vlc isn't present in the ebuild, everything else works for me
freevo 1.8.2 is out. Renaming the ebuild just works, now i'm currently testing it
alpiturchi, I'm locally running 1.8.2. There is a crash bug when setting mplayer options, and I was hoping for a 1.8.2.1 -- but it seems we need to patch in Gentoo.
I tried mplayer but I didn't set any option and it worked flawlessly. Changelog says that MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS sintax has changed: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&group_id=46652&atid=446895&aid=1989738
any chance to see it in portage soon ? it's been 7 month since last update in portage... please consider puting the ebuild in the portage, so we can all take advantage of it... thanks for your time and work spend on gentoo (and ebuilds)
Any news about that crash? I use freevo every day and never experienced any kind of bug...
Bumped, sorry guys for the delay. If someone is interested in helping to maintain this, please contact me privately and I will set up commit rights to my overlay. Hopefully, we can move stuff into the tree faster that way. *freevo-1.8.2 (25 Oct 2008) 25 Oct 2008; Robert Buchholz <rbu@gentoo.org> +files/freevo-1.8.2-mplayerargs.patch, +files/freevo-1.8.2.boot, -files/freevo.rc6, metadata.xml, -freevo-1.5.4.ebuild, -freevo-1.7.3.ebuild, -freevo-1.7.4.ebuild, +freevo-1.8.2.ebuild: Version bump (bug #217542), a lot of upstream changes, cleanup old stuff.
