[gentoo-amd64] XMMS and Mplayer

[Mark Haney]

So what's the deal with xmms and mplayer, when I went to update this 
morning, this is what I get:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "media-sound/xmms" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your 
request:
- media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r16 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)
# Diego Pettenò <flameeyes@gentoo.org> (23 Oct 2006)
# Pending removal 23 November for multiple bugs
# Use anything but this, like media-sound/audacious
# media-sound/amarok media-sound/mpd media-sound/rythmbox
# media-sound/muine media-sound/banshee

- media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r14 (masked by: package.mask)
- media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r15 (masked by: package.mask)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre8" [ebuild])



!!! Problem resolving dependencies for media-video/mplayer
!!! Depgraph creation failed.

Are the two issues related?  Or separate?  And how do I fix it?

Xmms was Hard Masked.
It's being removed from the portage tree.
Gentoo people suggested to use Audacious instead.

Does anyone know if audacious is able to open cue sheets? 
I have a lot of CDs in single flac files. 
Any other player capable of that?

Don't know about the cue sheets, but since audacious has a flac USE
flag, I think it's able to open those files - just emerge with
USE="flac"

Sorry for the previous empty email. What I was going to say is that yes, I 
have the flac use flag set and audalicious is able to play flac files. 
But I am asking about the cue sheets. When a whole CD is ripped into a single 
flac file, it comes with a cue sheet that shows each track within the flac 
file and let you play them separately, choice the one that you want to hear, 
move from one to the other, etc. Opening the big flac file without opening 
the cue sheet only lets you hear the entire CD from beggining to end.

Amarok apparently has this ability, although I've never used it (cue
sheets that is, I love amarok long time!).

I don’t know about cue sheets, but I discovered amarok recently and
fell moderately in love quickly. I wish it did more things, because
what it does it does well.

I suspect that in the future Songbird will be popular, doing a lot of
the things Amarok does and more, but I think Amarok will still have
the nicer interface (unless you are a fan of Mozilla apps, which I am
not).

I couldn't figure out how to use cue sheets in Amarok, but that could
just be me.

If you emerge media-plugins/audacious-plugins, that includes a
"Cuesheet Container Plugin" for audacious (which seems to be the
closest to xmms of the replacements), but it seems to be pretty
rudimentary - it loads up the different tracks, but the seek-bar goes
through the entire file, not the individual track. Also, it only seems
to work w/ external cue sheets, not the cue sheet metadata block in
FLAC files.

LAMIP <http://lamip.sf.net> looks promising w/ regards to cue sheet
support, but is still in somewhat early development.

I had similar problems yesterday night, i unmasked all the packages and xmms 
is still fine as it was before. no crashes, no excessive cpu usage or 
anything. why are all those packages masked?

It has a lot of pending bugs (>30) and someone said development has been
abandoned (I dont know), I think it's great to mask it but not removing it
from portage until we have xmms2 available. Some ppl may want to use it
anyway.

There might be a bit of a misunderstanding there: xmms will be deleted
from the tree on November 23rd. It's not "being kept masked until xmms2
is ready", this is just the standard one month "warning period" before a
package is deleted.

Because xmms is buggy, unmaintained, and at least for everybody that
has tried, unmaintainable.

Be sure to copy the ebuilds to a local overlay if you want to continue
using them, as they will disappear from portage in ~30 days.

XMMS is unmaintained upstream, relies on gtk1, and has a ton of bugs
(it's at -r16 if that means anything to you).  It's not really worth
maintaining in Gentoo.  If you really like XMMS that much, one might
want to try something like BMPx, which is very similar, and much more
maintained upstream.

Yes, they are related, probably because you had the xmms use flag
enabled, which is now masked along with xmms.

emerge -C xmms   # remove xmms from your system
emerge --newuse world # rebuild anything that used xmms
revdep-rebuild # rebuild anything still broken by removing xmms

If you *really* want to keep xmms, you can copy the masked packages to
a local overlay and unmask them in package.unmask.
