[Bug 243453] Re: Please Upgrade Mplayer

[Kevin DeKorte]

William,

As the developer of gnome-mplayer I get several bugs with regards to
subtitles and other weirdness. Most of those issues are solved by
getting a newer version of mplayer. By not upgrading this package to
something more recent you are actually creating more problems for users
and developers.

As stated above the mplayer team does not do releases and recommends
using SVN. I know this causes more work for you as a packager, but even
doing a monthly or quarterly release even with a package name of
'mplayer-svn' would be helpful. That way the people that want a 'stable'
mplayer can use mplayer and those that want one that actually works, can
track a newer package.

Thanks,

Kevin
