Officially the new name has only been in effect since version 6.0.0 but |
| 2 |
having discussed this with prometheanfire on IRC, it makes sense to |
| 3 |
extend the new name to >=5.0.0 - that way people not interested in |
| 4 |
switching from plain PulseAudio to PipeWire can continue to use v4 |
| 5 |
(which according to upstream is now in maintenance mode, i.e. hasn't |
| 6 |
been EOLed yet) without having to mask v5 ebuilds. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
It 7 days feels like a reasonable time to wait before dropping |
| 9 |
media-sound/pulseeffects-5.0.4 from the tree because this news item will |
| 10 |
continue to display for affected users even after the ebuild is gone, |
| 11 |
won't it. |

News-Item-Format: 2.0 |
| 22 |
Display-If-Installed: >=media-sound/pulseeffects-5.0.0 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
In response to the upstream decision to rename PulseEffects to |
| 25 |
EasyEffects we have decided to adopt the new name for versions only |
| 26 |
supporting media-video/pipewire while retaining the old one for versions |
| 27 |
allowing the use of media-sound/pulseaudio. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
media-sound/easyeffects is already available in the tree, and all the |
| 30 |
PipeWire-dependent ebuilds of media-sound/pulseeffects will be removed |
| 31 |
in 7 days. Therefore, users of >=media-sound/pulseeffects-5.0.0 are |
| 32 |
asked to emerge media-sound/easyeffects instead. |
