Source: Freshmeat Daily News aeon is a player that is meant to look nice and have an interface that is as easy to use as possible. In contrast to players like XMMS/bmp, noatun, etc., you can only play files from the library (akin to RhythmBox/iTunes). License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: The 0.2.2 release had 2 build flaws. It included bmpx/uri.h instead of uri.h inside src/uri.c. The former was present on the distcheck test system, so distcheck went through without failure, but the build might fail on other systems. Secondly, DBus was disabled by default at make distcheck time, and hence distcheck didn't bother about the file src/aeon-core.xml (DBus Interface definition XML), which was not part of EXTRA_DIST in src/Makefile.am. Therefore, it ended up not being in the resulting dist, which made the dist un-buildable with DBus. This release fixes both errors.
