[proaudio] Request drop of libdsp and its reverse dependencies

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.tuxfamily.org/proaudio Archives ]


Hi,

The package libdsp has got old and is not at all developed anymore. Upstream seems completely dead since December 2005.

I can't get the package to compile and the Makefile seems badly written as a lot of patching is done in the ebuild so maintaining it any longer would require too much work in my opinion.

If we decide to drop it libconvolve, dssi_convolve and jack_convolve also have to be dropped because they all depend on libdsp in some way. [1]

If someone is using libdsp the removal could definitely be discussed, but if no one is we could as well remove it.

Please tell me what you think!

[1] $ equery depends --all-packages --depth=10 libdsp
 * These packages depend on libdsp:
media-libs/libconvolve-0.0.8 (>=media-libs/libdsp-5.0.1)
media-sound/dssi_convolve-0.0.4 (>=media-libs/libdsp-5.0.1)
media-sound/jack_convolve-0.0.13 (>=media-libs/libdsp-5.0.1)

Regards,
Karl
