Amarok 2.2 Beta 1

[nardusg]

Hi There

Don't know if this is the right forum for this question, if not feel free to move it ?

When will Amarok 2.2 Beta 1 be available for kubuntu ? Or are we waiting for the official release of the beta and not the git version I am using karmic

Ciao

Re: Amarok 2.2 Beta 1

It depends Amarok. The Amarok "Roadmap" > RoadMap

This is the roadmap for future Amarok development. Open to change - its actually named after the Road Map to Mid-East Peace...

but the Myriam Schweingruber told:

Full Circle #27 - out now!

...But there are good chances that
Amarok 2.2 or at least a beta version of it will eventually be shipped
with Karmic....

So the Karmic could have the Amarok 2.2. It could be /1/ added as a PPA repository as the Koffice > KOffice 2.1 Beta 1 now available

Users of our latest development release, Karmic, can install it from the following repository:...

/1/ The Karmic is at the > Feature Freeze

The Feature Freeze is now in effect for Karmic. The focus from here until
release is on fixing bugs and polishing.

If you believe that a new package, a new upstream version of a package, or a
new feature is needed for the release and will not introduce more problems
than it fixes, please follow the Freeze Exception Process...

(the same repository as koffice 2.1 beta)

Re: Amarok 2.2 Beta 1

as the "kubicle" told, the Amarok 2.2 beta 1 (2.1.80), could be found from the > Kubuntu Beta Backports:

Backports of beta versions of KDE and major KDE apps

A way to add the Kubuntu Beta Backports (> Topic: Adding PPA repositories with the Karmic) :

Konsole:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta

Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv E4DFEC907DEDA4B8A670E8042836CB0A8AC93F7A
gpg: requesting key 8AC93F7A from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 8AC93F7A: public key "Launchpad Kubuntu Updates" imported
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)

and the Kubuntu Beta Backports is added with the GPG key.

sudo apt-get update

Now there are:

apt-cache show amarok

Equalizer is already in Amarok, just needs latest phonon snapshot so doesn’t work on every machine atm.

I am using 2.2 trunk and equalizer is already there. But you have got to have the latest phonon snapshot (trunk) compiled too.

By the way, equalizer is working perfectly..
