Hi Ben. As the proxy committer for me, I'd like to just get this package punted. I don't use it anymore, and there hasn't been a release in many, many months. There are also outstanding UI bugs and random crashers, which is partly why I gave up on it some time ago. Rather than put in the work to bring the ebuild up-to-date for @$^&ing Python 3, I'd be happier if it was just punted. That, or someone else can maintain it, because I'm no longer interested. Thanks! I became aware of this only via mask warning on update :) Yes, the app has some bugs appearing when opening supported formats. Can you please name any GTK-based lightweight player similar to this one, in the case whaawmp gets pned? (This is not a joke) Thanks!

Just check the media-video category (eix -SsC media-video) and check http://gnomefiles.org. Find something interesting, check Portage to see if it exists. If not, it's almost certainly in an ebuild somewhere on overlays.gentoo.org. Feel free to remove WhaawMP; upstream is still dead. Ok, thx. removed. @Josh Yep, thanks for the list. |
