Ampache 3.3.3.1 have been packaged for the Mandriva Linux distribution by Erwan Velu. Ampache will be available in the “contrib” rpm repository for cooker & 2008.0 release of Mandriva.
People must first add the contrib/backport rpm repository by using the easyurpmi website (http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/). Select your distribution (Mandriva 2007.0 or 2007.1), your arch (x86 or x86_64) then select the “Contrib/Backport” item an at least choose your closest mirror. Once it’s done, just use your favorite rpm installer (urpmi or drakrpm) to install ampache : i.e “urpmi ampache”.
Progress has started on 3.4 and I everyone who’s seen the new browsing methods loves them. I have one more major section to create, the playlist management, before I can get back to fixing everything I’ve broken in the current SVN trunk. This new version is a little heavier on the AJAX/Javascript but I am doing everything I can to maintain the lightweight and simple feel of Ampache.
