FFE: Please sync pianobar 2010.10.07-1 (universe) fromDebian Unstable (main) "Protocol incompatible" on start

[Luke Faraone]

Binary package hint: pianobar

== FFE INFO ==

Regression potential is minimal. This package was not shipped in a previous version of Ubuntu. As of today, the package does not function at all due to API changes.

The version shipped in Ubuntu was never officially released upstream. Version 2010.08.21-1, which was in Debian for the past month, has been widely used without problems. Supporting pre-release git snapshots (like that currently in the archive) will be more difficult in the future. The only change between 2010.08.21-1 and 2010.10.07-1 is a protocol fix. The changelog for upstream can be found at http://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/commits/master.

I have personally tested this package in Ubuntu Maverick.
