Bug#485105: RFA: libprojectm -- Advanced Milkdrop-compatible music visualization library - dev
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the libprojectm package. I do not have any further
interest in it, due to the fact that it no longer works correctly on my
system, and I have no idea on where to begin on fixing it.
The packaging is in good shape, considering that:
- it uses CMake
- the upstream devs don't know what SONAMEs are, or why you might
want to change them when the API breaks
- the API is constantly subject to change and is broken for no really
good reasons
However, there's some good points. Peter Sperl is a fairly friendly
person and has answered my questions and accepted my feedback and
criticism well. I just don't have time to update all of the packages
with patches to support the API changes which happen between versions.
The package description is:
libprojectm is an iterative music visualization library which uses
OpenGL for hardware acceleration. It is compatible with Milkdrop
presets.
.
This package contains the development headers.
Maintaining a package in Debian takes a lot of effort. Please do not
adopt this package unless you intend to give it your best effort.
As I think projectM is a good project to have in Debian (pretty swirling
colours are always good for the whole WOW-factor of the distro after all),
I would like to see someone adopt this without me having to orphan it.
Thanks!
