 Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2008 7:33 am Post subject: Whither XMMS? |
 |
|
I still miss xmms enough to resurrect the last thread, but it got locked. I want an audio player that supports dynamic range compression (makes the quiet parts louder) for listening to people speaking. This is not the same as replay gain, as it will be changing the volume dynamically within the track. XMMS worked perfectly for this, and was rather lightweight. Audacious is STILL a little buggy for me, but right now, it beats manually building all the different plugins for XMMS. I'm open to suggestions on a replacement media player, provided they work well, are legible and provide a function/plugin to dynamically raise the volume when a speaker gets quiet. I'm also voting that in honor of the November 16, 2007 release of XMMS (1.2.11) gets put back into portage. *immaturely thumbs nose at all the people who said it didn't have any upstream development* 
Seeing as I already have gtk+-1.2 installed, other programs are still using it too (via imlib-1), so that's not a valid argument for not supporting XMMS either. I'd write the ebuild myself if I knew how (and I'm too busy right now for learning to be an option). Maybe somebody will chip in the effort to put an unmaintained overlay on layman, or some I'll find the time to dig up the old XMMS ebuilds and fix one for 1.2.11. |

Which is the only reason that this topic has yet to be moved to Unsupported Software, if this topic tends more towards discussion of XMMS than alternatives to it it will be moved there.

Already asked and answered.

Regardless of opinions on that point, the other associated bugs and lack of developer interest are valid arguments.

There is no need to write new ebuilds considering that the old ebuilds are still available. |

| I remind all of you that in my web site there's a lot of xmms related stuff. I host it because it is really hard to get some packages nowadays since they are no longer in what once was their own repositories. Link in my signature, and in my profile I think. So, if you get the ebuilds and they can't download anything, pick it from my web and put it into distfiles. |

Out of curiosity, I checked today to see what the changes are. Next time, check yourself before claiming things like this:

Check the changelog yourself:

* configure.in: Update version to 1.2.11. This is the 10 years
anniversary release of xmms, and also 1211 days since 1.2.10.

So, it is just a version bump. No code was changed. That is not what I call "active development". The bugs are still there. This version was releases as 1.2.11 just because someone thought that it would be funny to release that version number 1211 days after the last release. A bad joke  |

I am using your ebuild for .11, but it fails while patching. There are some rejects. I am not fixing this though it must be trivial.

Also, those gentoo patches are patches made by xmms devs or are gentoo specific? Because if that is gentoo specific stuff made by a gentoo user, they can't be xmms development since they are not part of the upstream stuff. I am asking, I don't know. |

This are not my ebuilds, I found them with Google.
I had to emerge with the useflag "rcc" enabled, otherwise the 0010_all_skin-dir-browser.patch - error appeared for me too.
This Darklin seems to be very bustling
