I'm currently in the midst of a massive multimedia update, which leads
me to the following question:

GStreamer 0.8 has been deprecated upstream in favour of the much
improved (and more portable, partially thanks to contributions from
yours truly :-) ) 0.10 series.  In addition, a few plugins (namely:
flac, wavpack, xine) no longer compile due to API changes in their
related libraries.

The following packages currently require GStreamer 0.8:

* gnome/gamp:  Apparently dead upstream (last release May '04).

* gnome/jamboree:  Last release September '04; website has also disappeared.

* gstreamer/gstreamer-editor:  Development stalled upstream (last CVS
revision September '05).

* ruby/ruby-gstreamer: (not to be confused with the newer, and separate,
ruby-gstreamer0.10) AFAIK nothing requires these bindings.

* wxwidgets/wx26:  Optional dependency only.

Removing GStreamer 0.8 from the package repo would mean that the first
four packages would also be removed, and wx-2.6 rebuilt without sound
support.  Of course, all removed packages' information would remain in
Ports CVS, for posterity's sake.

Therefore, are there any objections to the removal of GStreamer 0.8 from
the Ports package repository?
