[packman] Status of HandBrake in PMBS

[Manfred Hollstein]

Hi there,

we currently have version 1.5.1 of HandBrake in our Multimedia project.
Looking at the upstream website <https://handbrake.fr/> shows, we're
pretty far behind.

Hans-Peter Jansen, being one of three maintainers of this package, sent a
request to bring the package to version 1.6.0 over one year ago; that
request raised some comments/questions to which he never responded.

I as a user of that package thought to look into how difficult it would
be to upgrade to the latest upstream version 1.9.0, and found out it
isn't actually very difficult. That's why I approached the three
maintainers

  Hans-Peter Jansen
  David Haller
  Pascal Leser

10 days ago via direct e-mail to review my request and comment on it.
All three people are long time maintainers and users both in SUSE Linux
and here at Packman.  I did not receive any response, hence I thought to
ask for feedback here. If you are interested in a new version of
HandBrake, please give the packages at

  <https://pmbs.links2linux.org/package/show/home:manfred-h/handbrake>

a chance and download and test them on your system. If project
maintainers for the Multimedia project read this and would like to
review the SR, please do so:

  <https://pmbs.links2linux.org/request/show/6239>

If the package maintainers are still active, please do so, too!

TIA, cheers.
