It is bmpx right now; and the legacy BMP code is abandoned and |
| 25 |
unmaintained. If it ever wants to return to the beep-media-player |
| 26 |
name, it would be nice if all incompatible plugin packages etc are |
| 27 |
gone. When beep-media-player "Classic" and it's friend the bmp |
| 28 |
USE-flag have left the building, I will remove the mask after a few |
| 29 |
months and the package name is up for grabs. |
| 30 |
For now BMPx is actively maintained while BMP is not. So BMP needs to go. |
