[gentoo-user] divx4linux

List Members -

I have another question.  I can't seem to find the divx4linux package
anymore.  I am trying to install it and emerge can't find it.  It also
does not appear to be available as a use flag for mplayer any more. 
Did the package change names, or am I just really tired and missing
something here?

Thanks again for everything,
James

I am pretty sure it got absorbed into ffmpeg or something. I remember
reading about the change on b.g.o. sometime in the last week. To
enable it there might be a use flag you need to set, but I don't quite
remember.

ffmpeg and xvid are enough to decode and encode divx files.

It's been dumped. It's broken. Nobody fixes it. It's been
superseded by xvid or ffmpeg.

no problems. there is a lot of stuff getting the biff from portage for
similar reasons. search for "last rites" here and you will get the
relevant threads.
