Description kaouete 2006-07-10 12:58:28 UTC

Hi,

upnp (http://upnp.sourceforge.net/) says :
As of 2005-2006, the original developers did not have the time to work on libupnp any more and nobody expressed interest in taking over development of the main project. As a result, Michael Pfeiffer forked a new project, pupnp, where he has pledged to continue active development. This page is being left up for historical reference and in case there is ever a desire to return to the pre-fork code. In the meantime, we encourage those seeking a more current version of the library to go to the pupnp project

Please consider upgrading the ebuilds using it to the new one (libupnp, in portage too)

Thanks you

Hmmm, all the ebuilds is media-video/vlc; net-misc/linux-igd only works w/ upnp <1.1 so it's not worth trying.

Please send this upstream first.
