I'm trying to install version 1.0
http://www.clementine-player.org/downloads
if I download the fedora15 RPM, things happen & it seems to be downloading
when I open clemetine & check the about tab, which shows version 07
I'm not convinced this is accurate
How would I confirm?

When did you install it? You downloaded it to your local disk, yes, but how and when did you install it?

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -q clementine

I installed clem version .7 originally through mcc when I built the pc a few weeks ago
a couple of days ago I went to the clem home page & downloaded version1
I get an rpm installation prompt
followed by an error prompt
telling me I'm missing gstreamer plugin ugly, no specific info beyond that
which is installed [gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ]when I check
I continued anyway
when I check, with the code you so kindly provided, still on version .7

Well,
there might be some problems with different package names.
You can try by downloading it somewhere and install using

Code: Select all

urpmi --allow-nodeps package

But there is no guarantee, it will work. It's always possible the needed library versions are incompatible.

a little slower
what does
download it some where mean?
there's probably other code needed too?

As you already have downloaded it (which Oliver seems to have overlooked) there's no need to. Also there would be no "code" involved, you could just download it via your favorite browser or whatever you prefer, and i recommend to use the RPM for Fedora15. And then you would do

Code: Select all

urpmi --allow-force --allow-nodeps /path/to/your/downloaded/package

To install all the required dependencies beforehand (as these are called slightly different on Fedora, that's why you get the dependency errors, and because of the fact that the newer libimobiledevice.so.2 is not available for Mageia 1 - this would probably be needed to access Apple's iDevices) just run the following command:

Code: Select all

urpmi gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly libcdio libstdc++6 gstreamer0.10-speex libprotobuf.so.6 qca2-plugin-openssl

But in the end there's still a change it may not work, as it was built for Fedora, not Mageia.
If you really want to have a newer wroking version of clementine, you may be better off rebuilding a src.rpm from Cauldron.

in the 1st bit of code
I would add
urpmi --allow-force --allow-nodeps
to the path to the directory, where the downloaded file resides [a space preceding], correct?
the 2nd bit explains the error I was getting for gstreamer ugly being missing
[I'm trying to learn stuff, even though I'm terminalphobic]
would a src.rpm, be similar to a ppa in debian land?
how would I do that?
probably this entire question will be resolved when M2 comes out, clementine will be version 1 most likely

Nope, a src.rpm is a source package, which needs to be compiled into a binary package, which you can use then.
Basically you would download the latest clementine src.rpm from cauldron, install required build-dependencies, rebuild it and then install it, i.e.:

Code: Select all

wget ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/mirrors/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/SRPMS/core/release/clementine-1.0.1-1.mga2.src.rpm
urpmi --buildrequires ./clementine-1.0.1-1.mga2.src.rpm
urpmi rpm-build
rpm-build --rebuild clementine-1.0.1-1.mga2.src.rpm

the resulting packages should be available below ~/rpmbuild/RPMS but it could be that for Mageia 1 there are not all build dependencies in a recent-enough version available.

so I should wait unless I'm willing to break my music
fair enough

You may want to use unofficial repos - I have 1.0.1 installed and it seems to work fine.
