Last Exit debs
Iain has just released Last Exit 1.0,
triumphantly feature-complete when compared to the official player. I've
created Debian packages that are currently sitting in the NEW queue, until they hit
Sid there are packages in my
repository. They are targetted at Sid, but should install
fine on Dapper. Tell me if they don't and I'll do a rebuild.
Update: packages built on Dapper are now available too. Another
Update: hopefully non-broken packages for Sid and Dapper are now
uploaded.
NP: Neighbour Radio, Last.fm

Please rebuild it for Dapper. It has newer dependencies which are not available in Dapper.
Thanks :)

Thanks :)
They don't work at my Dapper install either. GDebi warns me that the libc6 dependency is not satisfiable.

Ross,
Thanks for the packages.
Unfortunately, the package does not make use of cli-common-dev with our debhelper scripts. The most obvious result of this is that the binary depends lack any of the required mono and cli libs.
Please review our draft policy [1], I am happy to help. Ping me on IRC.

By the way, Muine would be a fine CDBS-based example package. Just have a look at debian/control and debian/rules to get an idea of what is required.

dapper package won't connect to server while official last.fm player works nicely.
"Failed to connect" is the message on command line and "Segmentation fault" follows when i close the program.

This final release is great! I love to have something native and open source to play my last.fm radio on GNOME! Thanks a bunch! :)

Your ubuntu package seems to require a later libpango1.0-0 than is in Ubuntu Dapper (last-exit: Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.12.3) but 1.12.2-0ubuntu3 is installed). The latter is the version listed at packages.ubuntu.com (http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/libpango1.0-0)

Would you mind if I compiled these (both AMD64 and i386) and mirrored them on my website (http://mighmos.org)?

The official last.fm player is open source and native... ! You guys apparently do no research. I have the source code on this machine even!

Dear Max...
As author of last-exit I can assure you that I did my research as I too have the code of the official player on my machine.
The reason I wrote last-exit was never "To make a free player" and you'll note that nowhere have I ever said that an advantage of last-exit was its freeness.
My sole reason for writing last-exit was "to make a less shit player" which, in my opinion (and many others it seems), I have succeeded in doing.
The issues with the official client:
* Statically linked to QT
* I don't have anything else QT based on my system so it doesn't fit in with anything.
* I think QT looks and feels like shit
* It looks "a bit ugly" (maybe an understatment)
* It has terrible usability
So, love to hear from you...

Hello again.
The problem in connecting Last exit, as I found out, is that I entered wrong password first time.
But I received no error messages whatsoever and I don't have a clue now how to do make Last exit ask me again that password.
Deleting ~/.gnome2/last-exit won't help, apt-get remove --purge and reinstall later either won't.
what can i do?

Removing the package and re-installing won't ever manipulate user settings. You want to use gconf-editor and change /apps/lastexit/password.
Posted by sven at Tue Jul 11 12:18:25 2006:
thank you very much, gconf helped.
an error message when entering wrong password would be nice addition to next version, though.

sven: yeah, I'm working on that at the moment :) I forgot I'd need to do it, cos I entered my password months ago and it worked

I didn't write Last Exit, I just packaged it for Debian. Can all bug reports go to the author please!

Iain, I wasn't actually criticising you or your work. I actually am happy you like last.fm and made another player. I was talking to the guy who said there wasn't an open source or native last.fm player for linux. Sorry for the misunderstanding!
Posted by Paul Cutler at Wed Jul 12 02:11:36 2006:
Ross: Thanks for packaging this up for Dapper!
Iain: Thanks for writing this!
Much appreciated, both of you.

I'm not sure where to report this as a bug. I'm using Ubuntu Dapper and installed last-exit from the package you provided (thanks btw!) but when I try to listen to some music by tag name last-exit crashes. In the terminal I get the following output on the crash:

Ok, I just saw I somehow posted the comment twice because of a refresh or something. I'm sorry about that.
