Description
VLC to me is the best player for Movies, Videos, DVD's, and DiVX! Well its time for everyone to upgrade vlc because there is Multiple vulnerabilities found ( http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/489283 ) allowing for the execution of arbitrary code and Denial of Service. But ya know? Im glade I had to upgrade lol, vlc added a whole new face a ton of bug fixes and a few new features :)

0.90-git is not released yet.

We should upgrade to 0.8.6e though...

Bonjour!
VLC has a trunk repository for Ubuntu/Debian. How about a official sepparate and optional trunk repository where all Packages ends with "-trunk"? (unsupported of course) In this Repository MOTU can test and evaluate future releases (especially just before a new release or with release candidates) for faster including to standard repositories, if they are stable enough by release.

Shure I want the latest VLC, but still it's best to not include software that hasn't been tested enough.
