  • [gentoo-dev] [RFC] Unmessing mod/tracker music file flags (mikmod, modp

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Micha=C5=82_G=C3=B3rny?=@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 11 11:30:01 2024
    Hello,

    Right now we have three flags that do pretty much the same thing, via
    different libraries:

    global[mikmod] Add libmikmod support to allow playing of SoundTracker-style music files

    global[modplug] Add libmodplug support for playing SoundTracker-style music files
    media-sound/mixxx[modplug] Add libmodplug support

    media-libs/sdl_audiolib[openmpt] OpenMPT decoder via media-libs/libopenmpt media-plugins/audacious-plugins[openmpt] Add support for OpenMPT media-sound/mpd[openmpt] OpenMPT decoder plugin
    media-sound/fooyin[openmpt] Build the OpenMPT input plugin using media-libs/libopenmpt
    media-sound/musikcube[libopenmpt] Build plugin to support playing MOD music aka tracker music through libopenmpt

    Given that they are roughly used in the same way, and only a small
    subset of packages (e.g. mpv) support more than one library, how about
    settling on a single feature flag instead? While they probably differ
    in fine details like the exact list of supported file formats,
    the overlap is wide enough to justify it.

    Such as:

    mod - Enable support for a variety of tracker module (.it, .mod, .s3m, .xm, and more) music files

    Best regards,
    Michał Górny

    As the maintainer for OpenMPT, that works for me.
