Ouch, this is really bad for mips. BMP is really the only decently modern gui-fied mp3 player in portage which actually works for us (aside from the horribly ugly xmms). Anything gstreamer or xine-lib based is unusable (ping me on irc if you want more information). > Um, it doesn't look abandoned to me, just the 0.x branch of it mostly. > There's an update on the website from 2 days ago. > > http://www.beep-media-player.org/site/About says: > > "Please be aware that 'BMPx' is merely a codename for the project, and > at some point we'll decide that it's ready to get out of beta stage and > will release it as BMP 2.0. > > In other words, BMPx is BMP, just not quite yet; yet it already is much > more than BMP ever was." Ugh, it looks like this new 'BMPx' branch uses gstreamer. Is there no way to keep the good old clean, working version of BMP in portage? -Steve -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
