Bug Description

Binary package hint: gxine

the gxine release 0.5.11 has serious locking problems that make it impossible to read encrypted dvds (See bug #128864).

After with upstream and the upstream branch, there have been several commits to improve the locking behaviour. I have rebuild the debian package on my hardy machine, and found that the new package played dvds for me without problems.

Since backporting this fix will be tedious (we are talking about race conditions here), I propose to update to the new upstream release 0.5.901.

10:56:20 < seb128> siretart: could you add "x-content/video-dvd;x-content/video-vcd;x-content/video-svcd;" to gxine mimetype list
                   if you get the update approval?
10:56:37 < seb128> siretart: that's required to get it listed as a player for dvd and video cds in nautilus
10:56:53 < siretart> I'll add that to the bugreprt. ok
10:57:16 < seb128> siretart: if you don't I'll upload the change to hardy
10:57:28 < seb128> siretart: I mean if you don't get the approval, because we want this change anyway ;-)
10:57:52 < seb128> siretart: thanks!
10:57:57 < siretart> seb128: well, you could do the upload anyawys, and I'll merge it for the update, if you prefer
10:58:06 < seb128> siretart: ok, will do that then
10:58:15 < seb128> siretart: so we are sure the change is there

+1 from me, users will want DVD support, and lockups are not useful for anybody.

---------------
gxine (0.5.901-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * merge debian changes for hardy PPA. Remaining changes:
    - debian/control: added Xb-Npp-xxx tags accordingly to "firefox distro
      add-on suport" spec,
      (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/firefox-distro-addon-support)
  * Feature Freeze exception granted in LP: #204563
  * New upstream release fixes playing DVDs. LP: #128864
  * mime.default: add "x-content/video-dvd;x-content/video-vcd;x-content/video-svcd;"
    to get it listed as a player for dvd and video cds in nautilus. Thanks to
    Sebastien Bacher for the hint.

gxine (0.5.901-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * 0.5.900 has long since been using better xine-lib version detection and,
    therefore, has not suffered from the current release's 4-part version
    number. (Closes: #465621)
  * From 0.5.11-5:
    - Fixed debian/watch. (Closes: #453534)
    - Build-depend on libxine1-misc-plugins. (Closes: #458673)

gxine (0.5.900-dev-20080129+57ee27043811-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Development snapshot (id 57ee2704381137f29a509cfc7561b68e94f5f884).
  * Recommend libxine2-ffmpeg, not libxine1-ffmpeg.
  * Build-depend on recently-uploaded libxine-dev (xine-lib-1.2) to avoid any
    potential ABI problems, at least until xine-lib-1.2's next upload :-)

gxine (0.5.900-dev-20071222-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * Build-depend on libxine2-misc-plugins.
    (This fixes an FTBFS bug due to a dependency change in libxine-dev).

gxine (0.5.900-dev-20071222-1) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Darren Salt ]
  * Development snapshot (id 763c929cd70c466843cc77b541deb55a1ca05a01).
  * Depend on libxine2-x.
  * Add missing build-deps on libx11-dev and libxinerama-dev.
  * Built against newer libxine2, which has ABI changes. (Closes: #457717)

  [ Reinhard Tartler ]
  * Remove the XS- prefix from the Vcs fields in debian/control.
  * Add XS-DM-Upload-Allowed: yes field.
  * Update menu file according to the debian menu policy.
  * Update to policy version to version 3.7.3.

gxine (0.5.900-dev-20071007-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Development snapshot (id 511db2aeae749c87f92638dcfde162aa91b7d67a).
  * Build-depend on libhal-dev.
  * Removed old build-dep alternatives and updated required versions.
    Buildable on etch, but no longer on sarge.
  * Build with --with-logo-format=image due to the xine-lib package split.
  * Depend on libxcb1-dev, given a new-enough X installation.
  * Depend on libxine-dev from experimental.
