There is a problem with that? Should i change the name of the package for mplayer-svn or can I keep "mplayer"?

Nice to hear that; I hope this will eleminate all problems with smplayer ;-)

Just keep it as mplayer. Good practice is to use svn export, generate a tar ball of the source and upload it into ftp/other/mplayer.

Agreed. Keep it at "mplayer". Please make sure to put the tarballs in ftp/other, as this covers us in terms of GPL compliance and makes it easier for users to rebuild the same package via abs.

Hi guys,

I was thinking in use the svn version of mplayer.

The latest stable release is marked as outdated and has several security problems. Also, the official project recommends using svn version [1]. It is generally stable and works well.

I looked at your arch-sheriff page the other day and thought a good half of the bugs dealt with mplayer, so this is a welcome move.

Yeah, let's do this. You have my approval, I know that was what you were waiting for, Hugo. ;-)

Done! And my head is still here. :P -- Hugo

smplayer stopped working now. :-) Maybe it needs to be rebuild. It also complains about an incorrect version of mplayer. It seems it does not contain the svn revision: "MPlayer dev-SVN-rUNKNOWN-4.3.2"

smplayer asked me what version of mplayer I was using. I selected greater than 1.0rc2 and all worked fine from then on. Rebuilding smplayer does not help. Allan

Worked fine here as well, smplayer just asked which version I was using, so I just put greater than 1.0rc2. But it worked like a charm.

Not for me. I also tried to remove .mplayer and .smplayer. mplayer (x86_64) quits with "Error parsing option on the command line: -ass". -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

The new version of mplayer calls you names if you screw up?! Can we get this in pacman? :: Error connection to archlinux.org, ass

Yep. This is x86_64 specific and seems to be a fakeroot bug. One solution is create the package as root, but its better try to fix fakeroot. -- Hugo
