media-video/dirac

Well, is this ready for normal usage? If not, it should probably be removed since it's been sitting in package.mask for 2 1/2 years.

upstream is alive, I still have to find good samples or take time to properly test this. vlc 0.9 has experimental support for it.
If you want to volunteer to help there, be my guest. For now -> wontfix

Urgent? o_O 

It's been sitting in the tree masked for 2 1/2 years, so sorry if this sounds harsh but it's become a useless bitrot and bloat in package.mask file. If you have no way to test this after this long time, it simply doesn't belong to official tree.

Not really... stuff that cannot be tested in anyway shouldn't simply be added at all.
