Resolution |

58 |
|
59 |
Gentoo has discontinued support for BladeEnc. We recommend that users |

# emerge --ask --depclean "media-sound/bladeenc" |

|
64 |
NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining BladeEnc have discontinued |
65 |
support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer |
66 |
will update BladeEnc at a later date. We do not have a suggestion for a |
67 |
replacement at this time. |
