Subject: O: xmms-midi -- MIDI plugin for XMMS

Date: Sat, 07 Jul 2007 14:01:32 +1000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the xmms-midi package.

The package description is:
 This plugin enables XMMS to play MIDI files through Timidity.

I no longer use XMMS. The plugin is useful and no other MIDI solution
for XMMS seems to exist. Unfortunately the plugin has some issues and
there is no upstream available to work on it. The main issue is that it
duplicates code from timidity instead of interfacing with timidity. It
might be better to rewrite this plugin with libfluidsynth or just get it
to run the timidity binary. Anyone who wants to adopt the plugin should
be also willing to take over upstream development:

I should also say that there has been talk of removing xmms before lenny
and that I will probably ask for the removal of xmms-midi before lenny.

Subject: Bug#432055: fixed

Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2007 23:12:38 +0000

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

 xmms-midi |     0.03-5 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.

Packages are never removed from testing by hand.  Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 432055@bugs.debian.org.

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
ftpmaster@debian.org.
