Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Yes, I think Debian won't include the Monkey audio encoder for Flacon because of trouble with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. I could see if I can add it to my repo--I've already got Avidemux in there, which Debian has the same issues with.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Upgraded mpv to 0.21.0 yesterday...but I just loaded ffmpeg 3.1.5 right now, so that'll trigger a rebuild of everything that uses it. Mpy and others will be offline for an hour or two...Edit: OK, all done except for gimp-next 2.9.6, it should finish soon.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Thank you very much for the extra efforts !
I see you're focusing on multimedia, but how did the Liquorix kernel build proceed? Did it work in the end? I know that building a kernel package "the Debian way" requires some tinkering.
Also, are there any pitfalls regarding the use of OBS for building .debs? So far, I only used Fedora's COPR for .rpms, though that obviously is not compatible with Debian.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
No real problems with rebuilding a Liquorix kernel on the OBS, but I have to modify some files in the debian folder before regenerating the source files to make sure the headers will require Jessie's gcc-4.9 instead of the original's gcc-5. I've been building them on the OBS for some months now in a separate repository, as well as doing a rebuild of the jessie-backports kernel with the kernel context switch frequency bumped up to 1000 Hz instead of the stock 250, because I heard that's better for desktop use, in yet another repository.
I wrote a rough guide for using the OBS to build Debian packages; it's in the HOW-TO section here. There are a few tweaks that package versions may require because the OBS doesn't see the "+" in a version string and replaces it with a whitespace.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Would it be possible to include vlc-plugin-samba? After installing the latest VLC I found I wasn't able to access anything on my networked drive. Thanks. Nice to have more up to date programs available.
Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Thank you for vlc-plugin-samba. Unfortunately the snowball effect seems to be kicking in . . .
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
vlc-plugin-samba : Depends: libvlccore8 (= 2.2.4-1jessie1) but 2.2.4-1~deb8u1 is to be installed
Or am I just totally confused here?

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
You'll have to upgrade that libvlccore package, too. The ones in the OBS have jessie in the version, the Debian ones have deb8u1 in them.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Thank you. Finally got things sorted out. Must be having a couple of 'off' days. <sigh>

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Added qmmp-0.10.5 and qmmp-plugins-pack-0.10.2 in response to a request on Bunsen Labs forum.
Newer versions of qmmp require a more recent version of Qt 5 than we have in Jessie.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Kodi upgraded to the 17.0 final release, backported from Debian Experimental. This also required an upgrade to libcec-dev to >= 4, which is also in the repo. Rc2 was using a patch to let it use libcec-dev 3, but this was dropped when libcec4 became available upstream.
