Those have been two busy days for me, as there was quite a lot of software to upgrade just before the freeze.

• celestia 1.5.0
• aria2 0.12.0
• midori 0.0.17 (with webkit svn29752), synced from Debian
• glest 3.0.0
• qcomicbook 0.4.0
• smplayer 0.6.0~rc2
• dirac 0.9.1

...and some less important ones, including sponsored uploads that I don't remember. (And it being 2 AM here, it's not like I'm in the mood to remember them either.)

I regret not finding time to upgrade eric and freecol, as well as not spending enough of the limited time I had on REVU.

Also, the Debian QA team is probably going to get some pings from me about inactive maintainers...

First thought: shiny new buttons!

Second thought: isn't it a bit ironic that I became a MOTU just before feature freeze? I missed all the REVU days, and the sponsorship queue immediately distracted me from uploads I prepared beforehand.

And this is largely a test post, to see if Planet Ubuntu posts work for me. However, I'll write more tomorrow, when I'm not as sleepy and tired as I'm now.

I have updated the hardware support page for my computer for Ubuntu 7.10 (it was originally written for 6.10).

I've uploaded SMPlayer version 0.6.0 RC1 to Debian unstable and got it synced to Ubuntu Hardy.

Gutsy has 0.5.62 in backports. To the end user, the main difference between the repository packages and upstream ones is that the former are split into smplayer and smplayer-translations.

Also, if any Debian developers happen to be reading this, I need sponsorship for smplayer-themes. It's listed in the Recommends section of smplayer, but not currently in Debian. (It is in Ubuntu, however.) It can be found on mentors.debian.net here.
