Hi, I've taken over xmms maintainership in Extras and split libxmms and plugins out of it into xmms-libs. This is so that other applications that can use xmms plugins can just pull in the library and plugins without bringing in the main app along with its file type associations etc. The split is only in devel for now, but I intend to push it to FE5 too next week. And if there's need for it, will consider adding a "Provides: xmms-libs = ..." to the FE4 package for forward compatibility. (If you want the latter, ping me.) There's a bit of fine tuning to do in various plugin and other packages, the main things worth noting being: - A dependency on libxmms.so.1 no longer pulls in the main xmms package - At least input and visualisation plugin packages should be considered candidates for having a dependency only on the libs package (explicitly or through an autogenerated libxmms.so.1 one), not the main xmms package I've already gone through all xmms dependent packages in FE and elsewhere and notified the maintainers in case I found some dependencies that should/could change.
