"Not maintained and depending on something not maintained and that is giving 
headaches to the ones who should take care of it", I'd say :)

That is one of the packages that depends on avifile, that has quite a bit of 
problems, and has no more releases since a long time, and is giving problems 
with newer version of libraries and stuff.

"Not maintained and working", or "not maintained and FUBARed" ?

Do they offer all of the cli tools that avifile does?


If you are referring to avicap I think that there are other capture 
tools in portage (media-tv field anyway)

[gentoo-dev] last rites for avifile, vcr, zphoto, drip, divx4linux, quicktime4linux

2005-10-15 Thread Luca Barbato

Those 6 packages do not look maintained and have different issues.

avifile: superseded by ffmpeg, xine and, yet to be in portage due some 
packing issue (it has to be snapshotted as ffmpeg), mlt.


vcr: superseded by mplayer/mencoder and ffmpeg, not maintained anymore?

zphoto: not maintained I'm afraid.

drip: not maintained, superseded by different mencoder front-ends

divx4linux: superseded by ffmpeg and xvid

quicktime4linux: superseded by libquicktime

There are some ebuild that could depend on avifile or seems to have 
avifile as an hard dependency (jahshaka to name an actively developed 
one) but looks like it could be replaced.


expected phase out time: 25 days.

If you are against that please speak now.
