[aur-general] Drop mplayer2 from [community]
Mplayer2 was very promising last year when they forked from the original mplayer project. One of the main goal of this project was to provide more frequent release and updates. Unfortunatly, they failled to provide something else after the initial release. This initial release no longer build with current tools/libs and contain several major bugs. A workaround was to update our pkg to a recent git snapshot. Since then, I do not see any reason to continue to update this package which is currently broken. If there is no objection, I will drop the package from [community]. Users should consider to follow mplayer2-git from AUR or the original mplayer from [extra]. Cheers, Stéphane

If it's broken and doesn't compile anymore, why should it be moved to AUR? Just drop it. Heiko

Because if maybe somebody find it orphan and lonely and knows how to fix it, can adopt it ;) instead to re-upload to AUR .. can be moved to AUR and with a comment that is broken. Usually our workflow is that .. going to AUR and if it's dead and unbuildable by some time.. then just drop it. - -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPA64OAAoJEEKh2xXsEzutccAH+wV1h4qOF5UAkmaBhNzoduLP 3lO7A0XvvvJAM9+CDSG3TMgbuI151/gvd/nUS02qdztxO3OP8E6zRSMS3AMCWJOX Fq1JRqYB0XAU6w8RmBYwR/Ey1ngfoR1CPVcJf0Xv1l181tMYsC5uYUo6b+SC8iCj u+Qml91/jdPWURroZoa/E4Jq+IzoiAhfQye2RwHMiKFZzagH5pnTDMOicAP3fHR/ Go6jENtU2vErlvdxKBOLt1CEunYZwJD2/BrMVRP8caJQX/UmW7q2dAvC/u1VfGWe oyiQvUblO1gZaAGNAqpD/jBal453610gd/goTVIqaMeAjWlyAsFykWjqrTGXgpw= =v33B -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

There is already an mplayer2-git pkg in AUR that is more up to date. Anyway, it cost nothing to drop it to AUR if someone else could find it useful. Stéphane
9 months is not that much time.. mplayer2-git works fine here.
