Is anyone still maintaining this? Anyone at all?

The current ebuild in portage media-libs/realcodecs-11.0.1.1056-r1 has been stale for ages. It requires an rpm from helixcommunity.org that hasn't been on their servers for well over 6 months.

The starter of this bug report Jiri Tyr has provided an ebuild for the current version that works and works well. (Thanks it's appreciated.) He originally posted it here November 15th and nobody has done anything about it in the mean time! That was 6 months ago!

He's done all of the work for you. All somebody has to do is use it! How hard can that be?

Can't somebody take a half a minute of their time and update this to portage and remove the old stale one, so this is available to all who want / need it? It can't be that much work to do so, can it?

Hrm. 

On https://player.helixcommunity.org/ :

"Helix Player 11 for Linux Gold: 11.0.2.1743.
RealPlayer 11 for Linux Gold: 11.0.2.1744."

However, this page seems abandoned (perhaps indicating poor project vitality):

"This page was last modified 21:47, 21 May 2010.This page has been accessed 714,594 times. "

I'll test this ebuild (I'm interested in better mplayer RealVideo/RealAudio support today).

MPlayer has native support for all the Real codecs now, so binary codecs are no longer necessary.

It's reasonable to expect that this package will be dropped in the future.
Comment 5 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2013-06-09 12:36:50 UTC
Package removed.
