Following up on this change, +upstream has decided to rename the project to EasyEffects starting with +version 6.0.0. + +Gentoo will follow the upstream renaming but in a slightly different +fashion: + - versions older than 5.0.0, i.e. ones not depending on + media-video/pipewire, will continue to use the name + media-sound/pulseeffects; + - versions: 5.0.0 and newer, i.e. all requiring media-video/pipewire, + will be available as media-sound/easyeffects. + +media-sound/easyeffects is already available in the tree, and the +remaining PipeWire-dependent versions of media-sound/pulseeffects will +be removed on 2021-07-23. Therefore, PipeWire users of +media-sound/pulseeffects should switch to media-sound/easyeffects by +deselecting the old package and installing the new one, e.g. + +emerge --deselect media-sound/pulseeffects +emerge media-sound/easyeffects + +No action is required of media-sound/pulseeffects users who either use +PulseAudio exclusively or wish to retain the ability to use this +package with both PulseAudio and PipeWire.
