Description José María Fernández González 2008-08-26 18:15:30 UTC

ManDVD was originally developed by Gibault Stéphane, but it seems he stopped developing it. After a year or so, a different developer (Mikael Böhm) decided to take ManDVD sources and he started improving it, giving as result ManDVD 2.5 series. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Old ManDVD page from KDE-apps has been erased.
2. Old ManDVD source repository is offline.
3. There is a new ManDVD page at KDE-apps, managed by new maintainer.
4. There is a new source repository for ManDVD.

Actual Results:  
Old ManDVD versions are still out there, in secondary repositories, but it seems the former maintainer and developer has just "disappeared".


So, the new ebuild changes both the KDE-apps page used as project home page and the repository URL, and it contains new dependencies. I have tested ManDVD 2.5-4 (translated as 2.5-r4) in x86, and it works. Although I have not tested it in amd64, I'm confident about its viability because the new maintainer is generating x86_64 binaries for each release.

Upstream project page moved here: https://www.linux-apps.com/p/1127497

Upstream abandoned this project long ago. Last entry in the CHANGELOG for the software appears to have been on 2010-05-25.

Closing bug as OBSOLETE.
