xmms split

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
