Merge lp://staging/~loneowais/ubuntu/precise/rhythmbox/remember-the-rhythm into lp://staging/ubuntu/precise/rhythmbox

LP Project: https://launchpad.net/remember-the-rhythm

Thanks Owais for your work, that seems a nice addition to rhythmbox. Did you consider trying to get it added to the rhythmbox upstream source? If not, why? Do you think it should be added to the rhythmbox package in Ubuntu or as a new source if it doesn't get added to the rhythmbox upstream source?

Hi Sebastien,

I tried with a merge request on lp:rhythmbox but it was rejected with the reason that I should use upstream bugzilla. To be honest, I was too lazy to familiarize myself with upstream workflow and I don't really care if this lands in other distros or not. In Ubuntu, I would like it to ship with the rhythmbox or rhythmbox-plugins package.

If it can make life easier for Ubuntu maintainers, I can try to get it merged upstream. Let me know.

Thanks!

Right, upstream doesn't use launchpad, the right way would be to open a bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=rhythmbox
Basically explaining what your code is doing with a pointer to your git

You can also try to connect to irc.gnome.org #rhythmbox and ask there if you do IRC

It would make sense to me to try to get that upstream since it would make easier to have it maintained and in sync with rhythmbox updates this way. That seems something we are interested in getting in Ubuntu in any case so keep the good work there!

Thanks,

I've filed a report https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664719

Thanks, I will let upstream the time to comment and look again at your work next week

This is now (and should) being handled in the upstream bug, so I set this as "work in progress" for now as we don't (currently) want to upload this directly to Ubuntu. If upstream rejects it, please change back to "Needs Review" so that we can re-consider how to package this. Thanks!
