amsn maintainer AWOL?
Hi list, I have no idea if this is the right place to send this but here goes. For months amsn has been broken, the filed bug contains a fix for the problem but it has yet to reach the users. If the amsn maintainer is indeed AWOL we the amsn users would greatly appriciate if someone could commit the fix and issue an update so that we might once again enjoy working webcam support via MSN. Being that amsn is one of few if not the only application to support this critical feature it is a big shame to see it go unloved for so long. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amsn/+bug/314805 Kind regards, David Nielsen -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

It shows promise but at present Transmission is closer to being a candidate for a normal user. I'd be horrified if Deluge in it's current state was made the default, it needs serious usability reviews and stability work. - David signature.asc Description: Dette er en digitalt underskrevet brevdel -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Sadly lacks options to stop sharing when reaching preset level (such as 1:1) and selective downloading of content (say I only want one file in the torrent - Transmission requires me to download all of them). - David Nielsen signature.asc Description: Dette er en digitalt underskrevet brevdel -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
