Description tuxisuau 2002-06-13 21:10:09 UTC
Hi! 
 
This is my first ebuild. It tries to be a commodity ebuild for installing all 
the available xmms plugins. I suggest media-sound/xmms-plugins for it.

hi tuxis,

this is actually kind of cute.  I'm thinking about adding this.  The only change
I can think of is the alsa plugin.  Some people still use alsa-0.5, so for them,
the xmms-aalsa plugin would be better.  Perhaps it is just easer to remove that
dependency?

The other thing is that the two sdl items can be combined under one set of
parentheses.

I did resort the dependencies, putting all use-conditioned dependences
alphabetically sorted at the end of the dependency list, and grouped the two
sdl ones.
I simply removed the alsa dependency as you recommended, but as you know that's
not nice in long term, we should think a solution for a
alsaversion-conditioned-install-one-plugin-or-another thing.
Btw, I was unable to "obsolete" the old attachment. Is that reserved for
developers or something?
:)
Comment 4 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-06-17 03:57:00 UTC
There is a way to do that -- choose which plugin based on the alsa version.
CC'ing arcady, because I think he mentioned it to me.

tuxis:  /usr/sbin/alsactl -v
tells you  the version of ALSA. Think you can patch up this ebuild now?
Comment 6 Jens Schittenhelm 2002-07-09 13:19:19 UTC
@tuxis:
Also think of adding following plugins that will be released (hopefully) soon:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4419
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4604

@seemant:
Now we're having so many xmms-plugins, it's time to think about a own category
for xmms.
Comment 7 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-14 03:35:09 UTC
Jens, that in fact is a future development.

media-plugins might be the name of this category, but consider this statement
vapourware for now.
Comment 8 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-30 05:48:49 UTC
note to jens, media-plugins exists now
Comment 9 Tobias Eichert 2002-10-21 05:51:29 UTC
Cool thing. Thanks for the ebuild. 

Tuxis: Are you interested in working out some additional audio ebuilds for
Gentoo? At the moment I'm working on LADSPA (Linux Audio Developer's Simple 
Plugin API) related ebuilds. There are a lot of nifty sound programs for
Linux out there (trackers, sequencers, audio editors, maybe cool samplers, 
etc.). I'd be nice to see them in portage. :)

For further information just point your browser to:

Cheers,

the new problem is that with a few of the xmms ebuilds, they are locked down by
architecture. some only work on ~x86 (not even regular x86 yet).
