I was somewhat shocked by this announcement, which came out of the blue. I've been happily using Clementine with Qt 6 for a few months & haven't encountered any problems ; also Amarok is itself masked ; apparently, there are limitations to Strawberry. I looked up the bug & see that there are challenges for developers, but they don't seem to be insuperable to a user at least. I've waited a while for others to jump in, but no-one has commented. What do I have to do to go over to Strawberry ? -- do I simply unmerge the old one & emerge the new one ? Is that enough or do I have to do anything else to make it all work ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatcadotinterdotnet
