Description David Nielsen 2006-11-29 14:27:24 UTC
Description of problem:
The Banshee 0.11.x series has been out for a while now and it solves a lot of
crasher bugs as well as opens for new functionality like podcast support. An
update would thus be great appriciated.

Comment 1 Thomas J. Baker 2006-12-19 15:27:39 UTC
Seconded. If it requires mono 1.2.2 which is only in devel, an update there
would be good enough for me. I can rebuild the rpms for fc6. I got usbstick mp3
players for my 3 and 5 year old boys for xmas and it looks like banshee provides
auto transcoding for my ogg collection to mp3 for them.

Comment 2 David Nielsen 2006-12-19 15:41:22 UTC
I tried to hack up a set of SPEC files but upstream does not love the joys of
multilib systems and as such is prone to hardcode things like /usr/lib.

Regardless if you want to use ipods with Banshee you need the updated
libipoddevice and that does not compile against sg3_utils since that hardcodes
such data as well. That is filed as #198223. Banshee is a bit of a pain to
package but a joy to use.

Comment 3 Christopher Aillon 2006-12-19 15:53:32 UTC
If you even look at the banshee-shipped dependencies libipoddevice and
ipod-sharp you might be able to tell I'm working on this.

Comment 4 Thomas J. Baker 2006-12-19 15:59:54 UTC
I did see an ipod-sharp update a while back which gave me hope.

Using the banshee 0.10.12 src rpm as a base, I've got banshee 2053 svn checkout
working for i386. I ported the two patches from 10.12 to 11.5 and built it under
mock for rawhide but if you install ipod-sharp and libipoddevice from rawhide
along with this new banshee, it all seems to work fine for fc6.

http://wintermute.sr.unh.edu/banshee/banshee-debuginfo-0.11.5.2053-1.fc7.i386.rpm

I don't have an x86-64 system to build it on but if the patches worked for 10.12
they may work for 11.5. The 2053 svn checkout is post 11.5 and includes a patch
that fixes a crash when trying to get properties of an ipod. I still don't have
any luck syncing my ipod shuffles with any version of banshee but I think that's
a banshee problem and not a fedora one. Additions to the shuffle are not
recognized but appear fine in banshee.
