For now just a re-release of Amarok 1.4 series, for users who don't want to use the 2.* series yet. It is based on the last version of Amarok 1.4 that was released in Jaunty, with only packaging changes.

The most important difference is that all binary packages are suffixed with "14" (e.g., "amarok14" is what you probably want to install); these conflict with the repository version (2.*) of Amarok. This way you can do "apt-get remove amarok && apt-get install amarok14" and stop having to worry about the 2.* updates.

A clean install or an upgrade? That’s a question that keeps tossed around every new Ubuntu release. Common wisdom would suggest that a clean install would probably be better, however the inconvenience of losing current installed apps and configuration makes most of us shy away from this path. But what if I told you that you could have the good of both worlds? A fresh install and keeping your apps and configuration intact?
