Public bug reported: Please remove freevo from Ubuntu, removed from stable and testing in debian; FTBFS in ubuntu; stuck in -proposed forever.
Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/834162: --mP3DRpeJDSE+ciuQ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Package: freevo Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear everybody, 'freevo' is in "dormant state" since Feb 2014 [1] ; there are some patches around to revive it [2] and a github branch that had some activity [3], but in truth there was no activity in some years. In the meantime Debian progresses; so now this freevo package cannot be installed and used in Debian Jessie; there are many problems, including: -) its init scripts are not compatible with systemd, and -) its Python code is not compatible with latest 'twisted' I gave it a look: fixing 'freevo' is more work than I can dedicate now. Moreover 'kodi' is now in Debian, so fixing 'freevo' probably does not make much sense. So I am opening this 'grave' bug; I am perfectly OK if someone wishes to fix 'freevo' ; but I would rather not see 'freevo' (as it is now) being part of the next major Debian release.
