| Bert | Hey there! I noticed that an application I was expecting in Ubuntu 24.04 is missing from Universe. Is adding to Universe after freezes a thing? I'm not sure if freezes apply to the entire release or just main and restricted. | 16:28 |
|---|---|---|
| RikMills | Bert: generally, no, it is not a thing. there are limited exceptions like when something we really need to update have gained new dependencies | 16:44 |
| RikMills | Bet | 16:44 |
| RikMills | Bert: what is the app that is 'missing'? was it previously in Ubuntu? | 16:45 |
| Bert | I was expecting xplayer to have gone from "a dude's ppa" to Universe by now but forgot to check up on it | 16:45 |
| Bert | so it's far from special | 16:45 |
| Bert | I mostly just really like adaptive scroll scrubbing which is a feature totem used to have pre-GNOME3-ification and then I got it back through xplayer (though less good) | 16:46 |
| Bert | just went from 18.04 to 24.04 and finding it /challenging/ :P | 16:46 |
| Bert | with mint recently committing further to x-apps, I expected them to push them to either Debian or Ubuntu universe so they'd have less work for Mint and more general exposure for the applications | 16:47 |
| RikMills | only thing I can find is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=830624 | 16:53 |
| -ubottu:#ubuntu-devel- Debian bug 830624 in wnpp "RFP: xplayer -- GTK media player based on GStreamer for the Xapps project" [Wishlist, Open] | 16:53 | |
| Bert | RikMills: what an odd discussion. I didn't know Debian actively refused projects if they had a community and no outstanding issues preventing packaging | 16:58 |
| Bert | I guess that explains further why there are so many audio and video players and managers exclusively distributed using flatpak/snap/appimage/... | 16:58 |
| Bert | then again, lots of people have a good reason to not be happy about how mint does many things, I don't think we disagree there | 17:00 |
