Description gerion 2014-03-17 12:08:27 UTC

There exists two compatible implementations for lash, the original lash and ladish. To let the user decide, what implemention he wants to use, the cleanest way in my opinion is a virtual/liblash like several overlays already provide.

I am willing to maintain this ebuild.

Quote:
Would love this ebuild, too. ladi and proaudio overlay defines a virtual/liblash, so the user could choose his favorite implementation. Both overlays workaround the hardcoded lash dependencies in the official tree.

At least it would be useful to create a virtual/liblash, that link to media-sound/lash, so the workarounds are not necessary.

I just looked at the last commits. The last ladish commit was 6 month ago, the last lash commit was 2009.

Reproducible: Always
