Xmas (Package) Wish List

You are missing a really cool application in Kubuntu?

Well, Santa Apachelogger is coming to town and is willing to package something for you, of course only if you've been good

The requirements

Has to be Free/Libre Open Source Software
Not yet available in Ubuntu nor Debian
KDE/Qt software (not necessarily though)
Needs to be actively maintained

The wishlist
Send your wishes including a short description and the homepage URL to apachelogger /at/ ubuntu.com.

The buzz
You might also try to create some buzz about the application, so it becomes more visible to me. This can be done by asking your friends to mail me as well, blogging about it, gettin it into press (one way or another) or by constantly bugging me on IRC

The End
With some luck and a considerable good buzz you might find your application soon in Ubuntu's package archive.
Therefore: good luck

This sounds really tempting, I think we need more kde/qt smultimedia applications and there are some good one out there.

Perl Audio Converter
It has a nice Amarok, Konqueror, Dolphin front end and it can convert virtually anything

Traverso
I compile it from source, but have no idea how to make a pacakge so that might be nice to have a kubuntu package from an application that ia getting better each relase.

Hi,

Traverso 0.42.0 entered Ubuntu Hardy only a day (or 2) ago , a backport has been requested for Gutsy.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sound/traverso

Happy Xmass all!

I'd like to see QtCurve available for *buntu. It is a Qt 3, Qt4 and GTK 2 style which shares the same settings and look'n'feel, thus making the desktop look consistent.

already in ubuntu:

projectM (!!!!!!)

A really good visualization (a plus, relates to amarok)
Definitely activly maintained, since I just noticed the Qt+PulseAudio announcement

Amarok needs a kick-butt visualization, this is it!!!

Huzzah! Now we need to publicize it more and (possibly) put it back it into feisty... although I could possibly use it from there, it's still nice, since my compiled version isn't that great (fullscreen doesn't work and it completely locks up my computer if I maximize the window)

#3.1.2 Jordan Klassen on 2007-12-20 22:12 (Reply)

Oops, meant gutsy.

#3.1.2.1 Jordan Klassen on 2007-12-20 22:15 (Reply)

I'm actually working on that too, still backporting is sometimes kinda slow

1. linuxdcplusplus - http://linuxdcpp.berlios.de/
