Ok, we all know that the latest tarball is so out of date that it's not even funny. I've started goign through the bugs and patches and incorperating some of it into the CVS... my goal is to wrap up a tarball by the end of next month and produce an rpm (for fedora core 2 if nothing else since that's what I use .... it's better than nothing.)
I'm trying to stablize the cvs tree as much as possible in the meantime.... Does anyone have a suggestions/grips?

There are two issues that come up all the time in the forums; the following patches may help:
873118 "MySQL server has gone away", ripd.pl only rips first track
623670 - register globals patch
(The register globals patch effectively does a register globals in PHP when register_globals is switched off. This does not, however, solve the underlying issue; The real solution is a code audit, to introduce proper sanity checking. If the development cycle keeps going as it used to, this would be a good thing to test out in the 3.2 alpha version. )
Some patches I'd like to see in the next release:
trivial bugfixes:
728936 Implements HTTP resume when streaming; lets winamp skip
638237 Fixes for ID3V2 in globecomice
trivial enhancements:
697815 waits until rip queue is empty
The following is less trivial, but a very good enhancement (assuming it's not already in the CVS):
632106 globecomice fixes (for streaming)

That is exactly why I am going through all the patches and bugs.... and why I'm giving it a month.
the wait until rip queue is empty needs to be modified, because that should be placed at the begining of (at least the organize) script. And needs to account for failed rips (i.e. don't wait till empty, just not active.)

There is a small bug in the ogg import script, verry small but stops the songs from beying imported/scanned/whatever..
I've got the patch on my laptop and will post it in 2 days.. If I forget it, please email me!

Ok, I guess I didn't make it clear, I said a month because there are outstanding bugs. If it's already in the bug-tracker or patch-tracker I know about it and am (most likely) merging it in before the tarball is generated.
For those monitoring the CVS you'll notice changes merged in almost daily right now. If I break something tell me, but if it's already reported please do not mention it here.
In a few weeks I'll publish a list of bugs/patches that for one reason or another they're not going to be included.

I've made a little script (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1069248&group_id=7668&atid=307668) that will produce diffs for any changes you've made to your jukebox. If you've added a feature to your jukebox and think it might be useful to others, please consider running this script on it. The architecture in the CVS hasn't changed too much (that I've seen), so it should be quite easy (often trivial) to port any changes made to 4.1pre4 to the CVS version.

Have you managed to get anywhere with this Eric? I've got it 90% working with Fedora Core 2, but I'm still having a few problems with it - specifically ALSA (adjusting the sound levels) and ripping without using the now depreciated ide-scsi.
If you have this all figured and a tarball is on the horizon I'll wait a bit longer. Failing that I'm tempted to start over with another distribution - Debian seems favourite.
Any news on progress would be appreciated.

Just to let everyone know that I got swamped at work, which is why the tarball is not out yet.... It's easing up a little bit now, so it should be ready in a week or two.... :)
In regards to the ALSA sound levels and the ide-scsi issue, can you please send me an e-mail personally...

is the error in the latest cvs version. (as there have been quite a few changes in the last couple days.)
Eric
The thing isn't fixed in the latest CVS version. But see this small patch: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=999779&group_id=7668&atid=307668
And there is still a problem with the DBD::Mysql disconnects.. :(
