Popular, maybe, but there're enough bug to make it a difficult task to |
| 4 |
maintain. |
| 5 |
Current versions are tested only on transcode 0.6 (I'm sure that at least the |
| 6 |
versions that upstream consider stable does not run with transcode 1.0) and |
| 7 |
it has to inherit also all the bugs of transcode 0.6 then. |
| 8 |
Currently there's no one in Video team that seems to be taking care of dvdrip |
| 9 |
so the bugs will continue stratification on bugzilla. |

If a new maintainer is found, fine, it can remain, but currently the resources |
| 12 |
of Video team are limited and we have enough problems to take care of without |
| 13 |
dvdrip. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The new maintainer would anyway have to take care of transcode, too, or at |
| 16 |
least make sure that dvdrip in portage can work with transcode 1.x as that |
| 17 |
has lots less problems than the old 0.6 one. |
