Version 0.9 was released on September 03, 2007, but there are no new debian or ubuntu packages since 0.8.1, which was released on 2006. As of this writing Intrepid has version 0.8.1.

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

I just uploaded the 0.9 version of muse on my PPA. You can give it a try.

I had uploaded my debdiff for 1.0rc2 to the debian bug on November 10th 2009, but the original maintainer has chosen to ignore this and instead upload a minor bugfix release in debian. I'd really like to see this get updated for Lucid's cycle but time is running out on getting it uploaded to Debian then merged back to Ubuntu before the freeze so I'm attaching a new 1.0.1 debdiff here to be directly uploaded to Ubuntu.

Hi Eric,

Could you cleanup a bit your debdiff? There are a lot of build generated files there, and make it very complex to check the package.

Thanks,
Fabrice

[Eric Hedekar (stochastic)]

Hi Fabrice, I'm not sure what caused the messy debdiff. I followed the process here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff

I'll take a look later and try to clean it up though.

[Eric Hedekar (stochastic)]

Fabrice, attached is the diff.gz for muse_1.0.1-0ubuntu1
and the upstream tarball can be got from https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmuse/files/muse-1.0/muse-1.0/muse-1.0.1.tar.gz/download

The debdiff will inevitably contain all the source code changes from 0.8.1a to 1.0.1 making it impossible to review (I didn't realize it was a 150000+ line file when I attached it earlier, sorry).

I haven't gone through the debian packaging and refined it at all, and I do notice some lintian warnings regarding maintainer address and watch file that would be easy enough to fix. Let me know if you'd like to to adjust those.

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Uploaded. Thanks for your work!
About the debdiff: you're right: it does not make any sense to have it in case of version upgrade.

You'll see in the changelog that I added a watch file, and fixed some lintian warnings. Anyway, good work!

Well, whatever the way the release of 1.0rc3 is a bug and solved,
the fact is that the current LTS 10.04 uses muse 1.1
which does not start according to Bug #677931
