Hello everyone, |
5 |
|
6 |
I am forced to mask xmms-arts. I warned about it several weeks ago; to my |
7 |
relief few people seemed to be using it. |
8 |
It has been unmaintained for a very long time upstream, and the author is |
9 |
missing (from the xmms circles at least). Bugreports & patches have been |
10 |
coming in, but to start applying and testing them would be tantamount to |
11 |
start maintaining it myself, and I do not have the resources for that. |
12 |
|
13 |
Hope this doesn't hurt many users. As an alternative solution you might run |
14 |
'artsdsp xmms'. Or, if using alsa, xmms and arts can IIRC both output to alsa |
15 |
at the same time. |
16 |
|
17 |
|
18 |
kvirc: this also has had several distinct bugreports which I have been unable |
19 |
to resolve, and I may well have to mask it soon. |
20 |
The 2.x and 3.x tres each have their own problems. Upstream development seems |
21 |
slow, judging by the rate of cvs commits - at least it did last time I looked |
22 |
at the kvirc cvs (no cvsweb interface, unfortunately). If someone here knows |
23 |
what goes on inside kvirc, please don't get angry at me for saying that - |
24 |
rather help us fix the problems so that I don't have to mask it too. We've |
25 |
received more (distinct) bugreports for kvirc than for just about any other |
26 |
kde app. A query of bugzilla for bugs having 'kvirc' in their topic returns |
27 |
14 results. |
28 |
|
29 |
For kvirc I know there are quite a lot of people using it, so I'd be reluctant |
30 |
to mask it, but I've little choice. I simply do not have the resources right |
31 |
now to throughly debug several unrelated reported problems (not all of which |
32 |
I can reproduce) in it. |
