+Title: PulseEffects-5+ are now media-sound/easyeffects |
| 22 |
+Author: Marek Szuba <marecki@g.o> |

+Revision: 1 |
| 25 |
+News-Item-Format: 2.0 |
| 26 |
+Display-If-Installed: media-sound/pulseeffects |
| 27 |
+ |
| 28 |
+Since version 5.0.0, media-sound/pulseeffects have explicitly required |
| 29 |
+media-video/pipewire rather than just a PulseAudio client (i.e. either |
| 30 |
+PipeWire or plain media-sound/pulseaudio). Following up on this change, |
| 31 |
+upstream has decided to rename the project to EasyEffects starting with |
| 32 |
+version 6.0.0. |
| 33 |
+ |
| 34 |
+Gentoo will follow the upstream renaming but in a slightly different |
| 35 |
+fashion: |
| 36 |
+ - versions older than 5.0.0, i.e. ones not depending on |
| 37 |
+ media-video/pipewire, will continue to use the name |
| 38 |
+ media-sound/pulseeffects; |
| 39 |
+ - versions: 5.0.0 and newer, i.e. all requiring media-video/pipewire, |
| 40 |
+ will be available as media-sound/easyeffects. |
| 41 |
+ |
| 42 |
+media-sound/easyeffects is already available in the tree, and the |
| 43 |
+remaining PipeWire-dependent versions of media-sound/pulseeffects will |
| 44 |
+be removed on 2021-07-23. Therefore, PipeWire users of |
| 45 |
+media-sound/pulseeffects should switch to media-sound/easyeffects by |
| 46 |
+deselecting the old package and installing the new one, e.g. |
| 47 |
+ |
| 48 |
+emerge --deselect media-sound/pulseeffects |
| 49 |
+emerge media-sound/easyeffects |
| 50 |
+ |
| 51 |
+No action is required of media-sound/pulseeffects users who either use |
| 52 |
+PulseAudio exclusively or wish to retain the ability to use this |
| 53 |
+package with both PulseAudio and PipeWire. |
