+Title: PulseEffects-5+ are now media-sound/easyeffects |

+Display-If-Installed: >=media-sound/pulseeffects-5.0.0 |

20 |
+Since version 5.0.0, media-sound/pulseeffects have explicitly required |
21 |
+media-video/pipewire rather than just a PulseAudio client (i.e. either |
22 |
+PipeWire or plain media-sound/pulseaudio). Following up on this change, |
23 |
+upstream has decided to rename the project to EasyEffects starting with |
24 |
+version 6.0.0. |
25 |
+ |
26 |
+Gentoo will follow the upstream renaming but in a slightly different |
27 |
+fashion: |
28 |
+ - versions older than 5.0.0, i.e. ones not depending on |
29 |
+ media-video/pipewire, will continue to use the name |
30 |
+ media-sound/pulseeffects; |
31 |
+ - versions: 5.0.0 and newer, i.e. all requiring media-video/pipewire, |
32 |
+ will be available as media-sound/easyeffects. |
33 |
+ |
34 |
+media-sound/easyeffects is already available in the tree, and the |
35 |
+remaining PipeWire-dependent ebuilds of media-sound/pulseeffects will |
36 |
+be removed in 7 days. Therefore, PipeWire users of |
37 |
+media-sound/pulseeffects should switch to the new package by |
38 |
+deselecting the old one and installing the new one, e.g. |
39 |
+ |
40 |
+emerge --deselect media-sound/pulseeffects |
41 |
+emerge media-sound/easyeffects |
42 |
+ |
43 |
+No action is required of media-sound/pulseeffects users who either use |
44 |
+PulseAudio exclusively or wish to retain the ability to use this |
45 |
+package with both PulseAudio and PipeWire. |
