Package: freevo Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear everybody,
'freevo' is in "dormant state" since Feb 2014 [1] ; there are some patches around to revive it [2] and a github branch that had some activity [3], but in truth there was no activity in some years. In the meantime Debian progresses; so now this freevo package cannot be installed and used in Debian Jessie; there are many problems, including: -) its init scripts are not compatible with systemd, and -) its Python code is not compatible with latest 'twisted' I gave it a look: fixing 'freevo' is more work than I can dedicate now. Moreover 'kodi' is now in Debian, so fixing 'freevo' probably does not make much sense. So I am opening this 'grave' bug; I am perfectly OK if someone wishes to fix 'freevo' ; but I would rather not see 'freevo' (as it is now) being part of the next major Debian release. Best regards, a. [1] http://freevo.org/ [2] https://sourceforge.net/p/freevo/mailman/freevo-devel/?viewmonth=201510 [3] https://github.com/kovalvalerii/freevo1.git
