4 Good evening,
5
6 Please note that beep-media-player and accompanying plugin packages have
7 been removed from the portage tree on March 5, 2006. This had been
8 announced on the gentoo-dev & sound mailing lists prior to it being
9 masked on February 18, 2006.
10 This software has been abandoned by it's authors since October 2005.
11
12 Note that a currently active fork exists (Audacious), which has absorbed
13 the necessary functionality to play all formats that BMP would have
14 needed a plugin for. The 0.1.2 release of Audacious has the same
15 stable keywords that beep-media-player has, and should prove to be an
16 effortless upgrade. For anyone running ~arch, release 0.2.2 is available.
17 Audacious is the recommended upgrade path from beep-media-player.
18 Most, if not all the bmp plugins available in portage have already been
19 absorbed into this program.

21 Regards,
22 Tony (Chainsaw)
