[Bug 419055] Re: audacious cannot display ID3 tags in Russian

[Daniel Eckl]

I guess there are audacious 2.2 builds in some PPA repositories, in this
case you might just use that instead.

But there is no way to just package it for official update repositories,
because the policy is to keep the versions stable throughout an Ubuntu
release and just backport the bugfixes. So somebody would need to find
the one difference between audacious 2.1 and 2.2 that makes this bug go
away and port it back to version 2.1 if possible.

Why is it so dangerous to just push a new version to official
repositories? The package audacious is a very good example why this
would be dangerous. For myself I use audacious 2.1 with the icecast
plugin. Until now I was not able to successfully use the icecast plugin
of audacious 2.2, it seems to be severely broken. Pushing audacious 2.2
into official repositories would mean breaking functions for everybody
that have worked before. This is something the Ubuntu team has to avoid
in any circumstances. Nobody can tell what other functions would break
with pushing version 2.2.

I hope I could help to explain the problem.
