mplayer not compiled with nas audio support

[Seth B.]

Binary package hint: mplayer

The mplayer in feisty is not compiled with NAS support. NAS is Network Audio System and allows mplayer to send sound to a computer running a nas server. It was included in the mplayer that was compiled for edgy but it's not compiled in to the mplayer in feisty.

To remedy this problem(if it's not an intentional thing) do ./configure --enable-nas when compiling mplayer.

This should be sufficient. Not much of an achievement, but i'm practicing my packaging skills and pbuilder cycles. Besides the enable flag, a new dependency on libaudio-dev is required. Check the attached debdiff.

Thank you for the debdiff. It looks clean, but unfortunately does not apply to the current revision. Would you mind regenerating as -0ubuntu11? My apologies for the slow response in the queue that led to this confusion. I have unsubscribed ubuntu-universe-sponsors pending this change. Please resubscribe once the updated debdiff is ready.

[William Grant (wgrant)]

Please note that mplayer is maintained in bzr. You'd be best off making your own branch and getting a MOTU to merge it in, lest you incur the wrath of those trying to do security uploads and finding the supposedly authoritative branch is wrong.

[Alfredo Matos (alfmatos)]

Added the debdiff between -ubuntu10 and -ubuntu11 versions of mplayer, as request. Built on a gusty machine and on a gutsy pbuilder chroot.

Sorry, did not refresh my browser before posting the new debdiff. Using bzr is a whole new ball game for me. Couldn't a maintainer pick up the debdiff and push into the mplayer bzr tree ?

mplayer (2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu11) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Added Network Audio System (NAS) support (LP: #110151)
