> New ebuild for 1.7.4 version Here is an ebuild I wrote that worked for me. I think the reason why the ebuild maintainers have not updated with a new ebuild is that the 1.7.* releases are "unstable releases", something Gentoo has a policy of not including into the tree. They are probably waiting for the 1.8 branch of releases. If you want to use the ebuild, just put it in your portage overlay (for instance /usr/local/portage/media-sound/banshee/ and then run > emerge -ua banshee and check the output. If it's the correct version, then go ahead and see if it breaks your system =) Another exciting thing about the upcoming Banshee is that they finally removed the last piece of HAL, replacing it with udev. Good stuff! More about it on this blog post: http://www.lamalex.net/2010/08/omg-thats-so-2009/ (sorry, not meaning to spam or anything!)
Created attachment 243779 [details] New ebuild for 1.7.4 version (fixed) Sorry, fixed some version stuff I missed to update.
1.7.x releases are development versions and I don't plan to commit them if not really needed (for example, some major bug affecting 1.6.x and hard to fix with backports) But I can only talk for dotnet team, not sure gstreamer herd policy on this is :-/
I've added 1.7.4 to tree, masked. I'll try to bump to newer unstable periodically, but no guarantees. Do be warned that these are called unstable releases for a reason. :) Peter, thanks for the ebuild - there were a number of things missing. For example, there were a few new configure options that introduced automagic deps unless explicitly enabled/disabled.
Closing then :-) Thanks a lot Arun
