Description jms 2016-07-04 12:53:27 UTC

from what I understood echonest api is gone

http://developer.echonest.com/

I don't now which other package depend on it
equery d dev-python/pyechonest
do not list any package on my system
by the way how do you get all ebuild depending on one specific ebuild (including non installed ebuild) ?

I think this package should be removed at some point

If the package provides access to an API, which is no longer available, it is unusable.

"May 31, 2016 - As of May 31st, The Echo Nest platform will no longer serve requests and developers will need to move over to the Spotify API."

You can use the q applets to find ebuilds that mention pyechonest very fast:

$ qgrep -H pyechonest | cut -f1 -d":" | uniq
dev-python/pyechonest/pyechonest-7.2.1.ebuild
dev-python/pyechonest/pyechonest-9.0.0.ebuild
media-sound/beets/beets-1.3.13.ebuild
media-sound/beets/beets-1.3.3-r1.ebuild
dev-python/pyechonest/pyechonest-7.2.1.ebuild
dev-python/pyechonest/pyechonest-9.0.0.ebuild
media-sound/beets/beets-1.3.13.ebuild
media-sound/beets/beets-1.3.3-r1.ebuild

Please do not suggest using unreliable and semi-unmaintained tools. After all, we have an official revdep index at [1].
