I agree that there may be subtle changes (GUI, behavior, new bugs, ...). However, as one of the maintainers of the banshee package in Fedora I would certainly like to update to 1.8.0 as well. I suggest the following: - importing the new pre-requisites into F13 is uncritical even right now - confirm with libgpod maintainers whether an update to 0.95 is acceptable, if yes, it can be done in the meantime as well - give banshee some time in F14 and get some feedback from users first (probably even wait until F14 is out - otherwise too less people will use it regularly) - try to fix any regressions (e.g. it looks like that for me at least the iPod (non-touch) support is broken) - if there is no critical feedback or the issues could be solved: do the update in F13 Best regards, Christian -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
