Description Chris Larson 2009-10-04 00:41:13 UTC 
In the media-tv/xbmc-9999.ebuild:
The RDEPEND:

media-libs/libmpcdec

Needs to be replaced with:

|| ( media-libs/libmpcdec media-libs/libmpcdecsv7)
Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-04 16:46:38 UTC 
media-libs/libmpcdec -> Format SV7 support.
media-libs/libmpcdecsv7 -> Format SV7 support, libmpcdec renamed.

Both are R.I.P., and won't be useful for newly encoded files. New format is SV8.

The support for SV8 is in >=media-sound/musepack-tools-444. It has a new ABI and API.

If XBMC can't use the new format, the dep. should be simply dropped. I wouldn't waste time on converting it to libmpcdecsv7 renaming.
Comment 2 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-04 16:47:19 UTC 
I mean >=media-sound/musepack-tools-444 has support for both, SV7 and SV8, including tools to convert the old SV7 files to the SV8 one.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-10-17 22:40:13 UTC 
Samuli dropped the depend as xbmc uses ffmpeg for SV7/SV8 now
