Bug#456722: xmms-xf86audio: should this package be orphaned?
[ upstream author here, not the maintainer ] The xmms-xf86audio plugin is tightly tied to xmms. While it's possible that it could be rewritten to work with another audio player, most others already have the feature this plugin provides. I know audacious does, and last I looked none of the XMMS2 UIs were far enough along to need such a thing. If xmms does get removed from Debian, then I suggest this package be removed also. -- Devin \ aqua(at)devin.com, IRC:Requiem; http://www.devin.com Carraway \ 1024D/E9ABFCD2: 13E7 199E DD1E 65F0 8905 2E43 5395 CA0D E9AB FCD2 signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Dear Devin, Thanks for the update. I would request you to reassign and retitle this bug to ftp.debian.org for removal, when XMMS removal actually happens. Thanks!

Bug#456722: xmms-xf86audio: should this package be orphaned?
Package: xmms-xf86audio Version: 0.4.4-1 Severity: important User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: proposed-removal Hi, While reviewing some packages, your package came up as a possible candidate for removal from Debian, because: * The package depends on XMMS, which is slated to be removed. If you think that it should be orphaned instead of being removed from Debian, please reply to this bug and tell so. One possible solution is that this package could be adapted to use an XMMS alternative. If this is the case, please package the plugin for the XMMS alternative, and do not depend on XMMS. If you agree, sending the following commands to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should do it (after replacing nn with this bug's number): severity nn normal reassign nn ftp.debian.org retitle nn RM: packagename -- RoM; reasons thanks For more information, see http://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals http://ftp-master.debian.org/removals.txt If you disagree and want to continue to maintain this package, please just close this bug, preferably in an upload also fixing the other issues. Thank you, Kumar (on behalf of the QA group) -- Kumar Appaiah, 458, Jamuna Hostel, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai - 600 036 signature.asc Description: Digital signature
