Make Deadbeef 1.8.2-1 available?

If a package has patches then more time will be needed to check whether the patches are still needed, and if so, re-written to apply against the new version. Compiling software from its source code can take a long time. Secondly, most Manjaro packages are ta…

How do the Manjaro repos work?

Manjaro inherits most of their package bases from Arch (Stable), plus a few from the AUR, along with their own software tools, kernels, and utilities. It works like this, in general... Manjaro Unstable repository pulls from Arch Stable repository. Manjaro Testing repository inherits from Manjaro Unstable. Manjaro Stable repository inherits from Manjaro Testing. As you can see, a lot of work takes place before what begins as vanilla Arch packaging ends up as a polished Manjaro release. That is…

Thi topic can be merged in Non-Manjaro packages which have been flagged as needing an update since there aren't real problems?

Why bump? DeadBeeF was updated to 1.8.2 a week ago.
