Re: File Version Numbers

DVD::Rip wants any version of rar from 2.71 to 2.99 and mplayer from 0.9 to 1.0 Synaptic can get me rar 2:4.0.b3-1 with a similar result for mplayer. What's the colon for? Is this version 2.4 or 4.0?
Thanks
ignore the 2:. its 4.0
Technically, if you install dvd::rip from the repos, it is compiled against the library versions that are avaliable in the repository anyways, so you don't even really need to check to see if it will work or not. If it doesn't work, it should be a bug.
Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.
