hi,

long story short, gmpc is dead upstream since years, and is slated for
removal if we do like debian and plan to deprecate/remove Gtk+2, but
https://github.com/DaveDavenport/gmpc has the port to Gtk+3, and debian
patches port from devel/libsoup to devel/libsoup3. Same thing for
libmpd, update it to latest git commit. For gmpc-plugins, disable all
plugins but shout, since that's the only one i'm using.

upstream gmpc moved lyrics/metadata collection to audio/glyr which i
imported in ports 10+ years ago, and this one is also dead upstream. I
started hacking at it to disable all dead providers and reenable only
the working ones, so far lastfm and musicbrainz (which includes porting
from MB API v1 to v2, v1 disappeared in ... 2018). Who doesnt love xml
parsing with strstr in plain C ?

all that to say, if you still use/love gmpc, speak now or stay silent
forever :) Feedback/testing of the attached jumbo patch welcome.
audio/glyr will come later when enough is working.

Landry
