Hi folks, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Today, I was shocked to find that the EsounD daemon is still in the |
| 4 |
tree and new ebuilds are actually still pulling it in under USE=esd! |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Proposal: package.mask media-sound/esound, use.mask USE=esd. Anything |
| 7 |
that still uses it should stop using it. Anything that /needs it/ |
| 8 |
should be purged from the tree with extreme prejudice[1]. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I'll do the first two today, and the rest of the rituals necessary to |
| 11 |
complete the exorcism will take a month. Help in this regard is |
| 12 |
welcome since the job is rather straightforward. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Thanks! |

1. In exceptional cases, a dependency on pulseaudio will also suffice |
| 17 |
since pulseaudio emulates an esound socket while running with |
| 18 |
`module-protocol-esound-unix` loaded, which is the default. |
