do you miss amarok-1.4?

[Orcan Ogetbil]

Hi all,

For those of you who miss amarok-1.4 and keeps getting disappointed
with every amarok-2 version, now there is a qt4 port of amarok-1.4. It
is called clementine:
http://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/

Upstream provides Fedora rpm's. You might want to check it out, it is
really nice.

However it is not straightforward to package clementine. It bundles
some libraries which are not available in Fedora. In particular there
is qxt and qtsingleapplication we need to package.

I submitted a review request for the former one:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577601

I won't have much time until summer for packaging, so it might take a
while until clementine gets packaged, unless of course you want to
help with packaging/comaintaining etc.

Cheers,
Orcan

Thank you. It's an perfect alternative for amarok1 from kde-redhat
since you can have Clementine and Amarok2 installed together.
If nobody else steps up to help you, i can/will, starting with
Wednesday when i'm completely back home from Hospital.

not the faintest glimmer of a sense of loss

Except Clementine:
* is also largely a rewrite, like Amarok 2,
* is missing even more of Amarok 1's features than Amarok 2,
so I don't see how it would be any more helpful to someone who is used to 
Amarok 1. The decision to port to Qt only is also quite asinine.
