xmms2 hadn't stable release for 5+ years #1

Closed sleep-walker closed 7 years ago

xmms2 hadn't stable release for 5+ years

That means that it depends on libraries in ancient versions and it is hard to maintain in distribution. Please, consider release.

dsvensson commented 7 years ago

You're absolutely right. There's just some minor things blocking it. I think we've integrated all distro patches at least.

sleep-walker commented 7 years ago

I can only check openSUSE patches but these are not applied: samba4 support - change location of headers - xmms2-samba4-include-path.patch typo in genre name - xmms2-0.8-spelling-error.patch

distro specific but worth of mentinoning: use _GNU_SOURCE - xmms2-0.8-fixwarnings.patch do not link against unused libraries - xmms2-0.8-linker-flags.patch don't use -O0 optimization level - xmms2-0.8-no-O0.patch xmms2-0.8-rpath.patch manually set version in pkg-config file - xmms2-pkgconfig.patch

About the bug report you attach - I find it confusing. It was updated last time more than 5 years ago as well - is that still valid? Is that blocker for the release?

dsvensson commented 7 years ago

Could you prepare a pull request?

dsvensson commented 7 years ago

Against the xmms2-devel repo..

dsvensson commented 7 years ago

Wrt the issue, it is still valid. It hasn't been fixed. We could release without fixing it, which would just break the ices and ofa plugins I think.

dsvensson commented 7 years ago

Please re-open with pull request, or create a new issue with your distro fixes and pull request for that.

Is the project dead?

nesciens commented 6 years ago

I'd say inactive rather than dead. Life has caught up to us, but we're still around.

@dsvensson, what do you think about a release of some cherrypicks onto -stable, just to try out the release machinery? A full release of all that's in devel seems daunting to me because of the migration from sqlite to s4, and the ice/ofa regression. I'd rather build some confidence with the process first.

Malvineous commented 6 years ago

How about an -rc1 release candidate in that case? Then it won't matter so much if things break.

dsvensson commented 6 years ago

@nesciens Humm... cherry picking towards stable, sounds like more work than fixing what's left. I should probably find some time and wrap my head around what's left again.

ryandesign commented 2 years ago

Can't understand why this issue was closed. It still hasn't been resolved. xmms2 now hasn't had a stable release in over 10 years.

Malvineous commented 2 years ago

It was closed because they were asking for PRs to merge in the outstanding bug fixes. No point doing a release if the release will be broken.

dsvensson commented 2 years ago

I plan to retire in ~25 years or so, we'll get that release sooner or later :D
