Subject: O: beep-media-player

Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2006 16:17:25 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


I have no time nor interest to work on this package.  I solely use
Rhythmbox myself and I used to sponsor two sponsorees for this package who
either abandoned it or were unable to continue working on it due to health
reasons.  The package has a _lot_ of open bugs and maybe shouldn't even
make it into Etch IMHO.

Beep Media Player development was discontinued by upstream over a year ago. 
They resumed their work and created BMPx, a reincarnation of Beep Media
Player but with a different approach.  BMP was also forked by another group
with the aim to retain the XMMS-style interface, and they created
Audacious.  Both of these related players have been available in Debian for
a few weeks now.

Regards,
Paul

As we (you, Matthias and I) discussed previously, I'll schedule it for
removal, but I'm waiting until audacious enters testing.
