Subject: [gentoo-dev] Last rites for media-sound/daapd

1 I've p.masked media-sound/daapd and it's pending removal in a week from now if
2 nobody says anything.

4 The reason of this is that it seems to cause crashes in iTunes 6 clients (see
5 bug #109490), and it's dead upstream. Instead of this, you can use mt-daapd
6 that is actively maintained by upstream, and seems to work just fine with new
7 version of iTunes clients.

9 Note: the big drawback of mt-daapd not being able to cross different
10 filesystem bounds can be worked around using more than one mt-daapd service.
11 Next version (0.3.0) will anyway fix that definitively.
