Subject: bmp is deprecated by upstream ==> replace by Audacious

Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2005 10:46:20 +0100

Package: beep-media-player
Version: 0.9.7.1+cvs20050803-1+b1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

it seems that upstream will no longer be actively working on beep media player.
You have already submitted an ITP for bmpx which is a successor of bmp, but not
a replacement.

Audacious is also a successor but seems also be able to actually replace
beep-media-player in Debian.

My suggestion is to replace the beep-media-player package by an audacious
package.

Regards,
Stan

Hi!

You have two different software, because some people doesn't like audacious, 
others doesn't like bmpx, that's why we've both, that's better.

XMMS is going to disappear before the new debian release.

Thanks

reopen 344634
thanks

Hi,

This bug is perfectly valid in Debian. bmpx is not capable of replacing
BMP in Debian; audacious is. Why you ask? Because BMPx does not and
never will support Winamp2 skins.

So please do not touch this bug again.

This is not a valid issue, if they want to install beep they can or if
they want to they can install audacious. Beep-media-player is also not
in the Debian archive.
