Intrepid nightlies?

[glebfrank]

Hi,

So, I tried to install the nightly from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/intrepid-amd64/, and I noticed that the Packages file is empty (and so is Packages.gz). Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thx,
Gleb

You are absolutely right.
On page http://www.videlan.org is proudly written :
VLC media player 0.9.8a
Download Now for Ubuntu Linux

The link points to page http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html,
and there you can find advice

...
Command line way
You need to check that a "multiverse" mirror is listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc
...


I added all possible repositories to my /etc/apt/sources.list,
but I always get the version 0.8.6e, that is a bit old at least.

Everywhere in the forum here you get the same advice for Linux:
... compile own version ...

To maintainers:
IS IT so hard to build a statically linked version for latest 0.9.8 and nighly builds.
and to put it in a directory ?


On page http://nightlies.videolan.org/ is written for Ubuntu linux:
...
For Ubuntu Intrepid I386 (unstable) add the following line to your sources.list:
deb http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/intrepid-i386/arch ./
For Ubuntu Intrepid AMD64 (unstable) add the following line to your sources.list:
deb http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/intrepid-amd64/arch ./

Nice, but directories .../arch are nowhere to see ?

Any advice for a working nightlty ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu binary ?

Jaunty is up to date (0.9.8a):
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/vlc

You could install that (by for example doing some apt-pinning).

As for VLC nighties - *nix builds have not been set up (since the server went down) yet.

Arite.

I have no interest in official stable builds of some programs, and VideoLAN is one such exception (another being Mozilla SeaMonkey). Since this thread (albeit a little old, I know) is almost exactly on the same topic as the one I made in the wrong forum, I am asking here: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) nightlies? The end folder "arch" is missing, and as well, both "Packages" and "Packages.gz" are completely empty when looked at. I have a dual-boot Windows XP / Xubuntu Minimal 9.04 system, with Windows XP for exclusively gaming, and so I use VideoLAN's win32 .7z nightlies for music / video / everything / anything else. As for Xubuntu, I am not interested in any other programs (as "great" as they may be), preferring VLC since I like it so much.

As for VLC nighties - *nix builds have not been set up (since the server went down) yet.

That was a while ago...

Still the same.

Because i concentrate on providing a decent package for sid. providing a non-buggy package for experimental and karmic (which is not yet the case) and then the nightlies will get fixed.

Btw that would be karmic nightlies because at least libschroedinger in jaunty is too old
