[17:17] <RikMills> vlc snap owrks :P
[17:17] <RikMills> *works
[17:18] <arraybolt3[m]> RikMills: Not sure if you saw it or not, but it looks like Debian already fixed VLC upstream.
[17:19] <RikMills> arraybolt3[m]: where?
[17:19]  * arraybolt3[m] pulls up bug report
[17:19] <arraybolt3[m]> Eickmeyer: ^
[17:20] <arraybolt3[m]> Shoot, no, it's fixed upstream in 3.0.18-rc2.
[17:21] <arraybolt3[m]> There aren't tarballs yet, so it's not yet fixed after all.
[17:21] <arraybolt3[m]> From the email, "There are no tarballs yet. Whenever they (or the 3.0.18 release) becomes available, I'll upload new version."
[17:21] <arraybolt3[m]> Debian bug #1021032
[17:21] <ubot93> Debian bug 1021032 in vlc "vlc: playing mp4 videos results in a black screen" [Important, Open] https://bugs.debian.org/1021032
[17:21] <arraybolt3[m]> (Hey, ubot worked!)
[17:22] <RikMills> yeah, I would like to know what the upstream commits of MR are with the fix
[17:22] <RikMills> I tried vlcs daily build PPA, and it was still broken
[17:23] <arraybolt3[m]> I might have time to try a Master build, and if that works a bisect shouldn't be too difficult.
[17:32] <RikMills> arraybolt3[m]: the vlc master ppa build did not work
[17:33] <arraybolt3[m]> :(
[17:33] <RikMills> https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/master-daily
[17:44] <arraybolt3[m]> Well, it might still be worth a shot to build from source and use the dreaded sudo make install in a VM to see what happens. I mean, at least one guy seems to have it working.
[17:44] <arraybolt3[m]> (I'm in the middle of building a ton of KDE stuff again, so my system's kinda tied up, but that shouldn't last a whole lot longer, hopefully.)
[17:51]  * RikMills throws 3.0.18-RC2 tag tarball at a PPA
[17:53] <arraybolt3> Anything in particular that I still need to do with Lubuntu artwork packaging, or are we just waiting now?
[17:55] <RikMills> tar made from the gitlab tag is not good, so that didn't work. oh well, worth a go
[21:26]  * RikMills wonders if the debian guy is verbalising from his posterior
[21:35] <RikMills> hmm. the vlc release tarballs seem to be rolled from the git repo after the ./bootstrap script has been run. maybe that is why my test build of the rc2 tag as a deb in a ppa crashed and burned
[22:00] <Eickmeyer> RikMills: Yes, they seem to generate their tarballs after grabbing external deps.
[22:00] <Eickmeyer> Similar to KDE in that way.
[22:05] <RikMills> well, KDE are starting to copy translations/docs from svn to git regularly, so KDE snapshots might be easier soon
[22:06] <RikMills> i.e. the git repo will more properly reflect the final tarball contents
