Hi everybody,
I hope it's the good mailing list to request package update (the bug tracker only says 'the Mailing List'), and I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
VLC has been flagged out-of-date on 2018-02-07 (2 weeks ago). Can you update it to v3.0.0, please?
Thank you in advance!
PS: Sorry for task #57595.
VLC is already updated. It is currently in staging. it is a non-trivial change, and there were other bugs that had to be resolved during the update. https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/vlc&id=8fcde2c5cf91a0472781dc791ed97388e32947d2 ... Yes, sometimes even Arch Linux takes longer than 47 minutes after an upstream release to update packages. Two weeks for a major version update that changes lots of dependencies including a move from Qt4 to Qt5, *and* provides libraries against which *other* packages need to be rebuilt? Yeah, this takes time. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
