[needs-packaging] Upgrade Miro to 3.0

[Yann Dìnendal]

Binary package hint: miro

Miro's latest version is 3.0 (http://www.getmiro.com/blog/2010/03/miro-3-0-faster-louder-smoother-subtitles/). Please add this version to the universe repository.

Current version is 2.5.4-1ubuntu1.

3.0 release notes: https://develop.participatoryculture.org/trac/democracy/wiki/3.0ReleaseNotes

[Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen (ralf-nieuwenhuijsen)]

Yes. Please sync miro 3.

The community is not going to fix bugs in Miro 2, so it's smarter to use a version in an LTS that's actually supported upstream!

miro 3.0 is in unstable, and could get merged from there.
This requires a FeatureFreezeException (see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FFE).

[Yann Dìnendal (yannbreliere)]

OK, thanks. I believe it would be appropriate for an LTS to have this version, as it will have to be supported for a long time.

It should fix some bugs, and it adds a lot of features (see the two links in this bug description).

[Yann Dìnendal (yannbreliere)]

Here is the package: http://packages.debian.org/sid/miro

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Generally I agree, however someone needs to prepare a merged package.

Please set back to new once you've got a merge proposal, thanks!

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

I started a merge on this, but had more python crashes with Miro 3 than the current version. The new version also needs to be checked for xulrunner-1.9.2 compatibility.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

My last post was a little unclear. I'm not actually working on this anymore and abandoned the attempt.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

I've worked on this and it works OK for me until now - just used it a few minutes though.

I will upload the package to my PPA, so you can test the build package (https://launchpad.net/~blueyed/+archive/ppa).

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

btw: 3.0.1 has just been released. This can get added as a bugfix-only update later on.

[James Westby (james-w)]

Any testing feedback?

If we can get some reports that it's not riddled with bugs in the next few hours
it would be great.

Thanks,

James

[Yann Dìnendal (yannbreliere)]

Sorry, I can't test right now, I'm on karmic. I'll test tonight.

I've been using it yesterday for some hours: downloading and watching different feeds.
I've recognized no new bugs.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Ack. Approved. Please also look into 3.0.1.

[cowanh00 (cowanh00)]

FYI

This version works fine on 64 bit Lucid!

[Yann Dìnendal (yannbreliere)]

All work well: downloading and playing videos, displaying subtitles (new in
this release).
