This is more to be compatible with flac 1.1.3 than to bump for the sake of bumping as Josh's patch does not apply to 0.9.4 currently in the tree. Mail from Josh Coalson : " (cc'ing other package maintainers) hi Wolfgang, attached is a patch to cyntiune-0.9.5 to make the code work with both the upcoming FLAC 1.1.3 release and previous versions. a beta of FLAC 1.1.3 is available here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flac/flac-1.1.3-beta2.tar.gz?download changelog: http://flac.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/flac/flac/doc/html/changelog.html the LEGACY_FLAC stuff can be removed once FLAC-1.1.3 has propagated everywhere. let me know if you have any questions or problems... Josh " Maybe this would help if you want to carefully review the patch : http://flac.sourceforge.net/api/group__porting.html The guideline I've followed to patch sound/video apps is : review and apply the patch test with both flac 1.1.2 & flac 1.1.3 remove the ~ dep on flac 1.1.2 By doing so we'll be able to unmask flac 1.1.3 as soon as the deptree will be correct.

Problem with this is, is that the latest version of Cynthiune doesn't compile on Gentoo, since it requires libavi, which Gentoo has punted long ago according to sound members. Not being a sound/media person myself I have no idea on how to fix that.
I'm gonna have a look at it, the present situation is not acceptable: either blocking flac 1.1.3 migration or breaking cynthiune
I think if the libavi dep could be out of cynthiune we'd all be happy. Since this blocks you guys at large I guess I'll have to dive into the code too as soon as I have time to get it working.
You just need to call: egnustep_make "disable-windowsmedia=yes" in src_compile and egnustep_install "disable-windowsmedia=yes" in src_install By doing this it installs in : /usr/GNUstep/Local I dunno if that's a standard location for gnustep apps, but this prevented me from running it. By the way, you can enable/disable a lot of features only by giving egnustep_{make,install} the correct argument (have a look at the GNUmakefile). Since it is not automagic dependencies we should take advantage of this by controlling that via use flags :)
many thanks! Committed to portage now. cynthiune-0.9.5 should now be flac-safe.
