AFAIK this is included into audacious, right, otherwise we can port it to audacious, make it obsolete bmp-flac2 and release it at the same time. > b) obsoleting bmp with audacious leads to a continuity problem from the view of > the user.

Many other smaller opensource projects sometimes change there configuration format without providing a conversion tool. Only the real big ones provide conversion tools like firefox and ooo. To me the extra effort of having to maintain 2 programs +plugins versus 1 muich outweighs this disadvantage of obsoleting bmp. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
