dont forget to add it mageia 2.0 . even if it means starting everything over again

It's been available for Cauldron as RC1 since like 5 weeks ago. Also there may have been huge changes under the hood,
but for an enduser not much has changed, initial BluRay support has been added, subtitles have gotten a standalone context sub-menu,
and there's a small video windows in playlist view, also theme has been changed slightly, looks neater now IMHO.

Curiously, what do you mean by "even if it means starting everything over again" ?

On a related note, this notice would be at the wrong place, as package request should be done via bugzilla:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_repor ... ge_request
and currently we're already in version freeze, which basically means no new versions of packages, except for serious security issues or bugfixes.
vlc IMHO wouldn't qualify for either, IMHO.

I just saw where VideoLan has released vlc 2.0.1, and they claim it does have numerous security and bug fixes. Can't verify it on my own, though.

My suggestion: If vlc is frozen solid at 2.0.0 for Mageia 2, an update to 2.0.1 should be considered as soon as is convenient (or sooner? ) after the official release.

Security update for 2.0.1 was already pushed 2 days ago. We're in version freeze, but exceptions are given for pure security or bugfix releases.

BTW: There's no need to use fullquotes, even less when you answer directly to a post. Just disturbs reading flow and clarity ...

OK, OK. Next time I won't be so lazy.
