Hi, does your port deinstall cleanly ? - I would love to use an mplayer version newer than the 3-year old RC. If yes, I would very appreciate if you could send it to me :) best regards _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

I mean, mplayer (and its brother mencoder) are one of "THE" killer apps on *nix, and I see obscure 20-year old games being updated more often in the ports collection. Did something specific happen to mplayer that it ended in this state? I could hardly believe the reason is only that upstream decided to stop releasing tarballs, after all, this never stopped anybody in creating -devel ports. Why was mplayer different? Is there any background info? s. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

On a sidenote: I used to build mplayer from svn regularly on my previous system. Updating mplayer usually was quite painless. Simply 'svn up && ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/mplayersvn && gmake && gmake install'. In 99% of the cases rebuilding went perfectly; no patches required or anything, and I rebuilded mplayer almost weekly. This was on a i386 system by the way, on my current amd64 install I run into problems trying to compile the current svn snapshots. I know it is not as nice as simply having a port. But if you realy need the svn-releases for some feature XYZ it may be a (temporary) solution. -- - Frank _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

The MPlayer Project no longer do "releases". Instead they only offer daily snapshots of their SVN repo. It appears that the maintainer of the MPlayer port has adopted a policy of waiting for an "official" release before updating the port. > I could hardly believe the reason is only that >upstream decided to stop releasing tarballs, after all, this never >stopped anybody in creating -devel ports. In most cases, the -devel ports relate to specific pre-release versions of a codebase and are available as a versioned distribution file. The FreeBSD ports system is designed around distfiles with fixed, known content. This is not compatible with a mplayer-export-snapshot.tar.bz2 that changes daily. If someone wanted to update MPlayer to an SVN version (either by updating the existing mplayer port or by creating a new mplayer-svn port), they would need to: - grab a copy of MPlayer from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html - create/update suitable Makefile with supported options/dependencies (the existing Makefiles would make a good start) - Create FreeBSD-specific patches if required. - Build and test mplayer with a variety of options on a variety of platforms - Create pkg-plist listing everything that is installed - Arrange for the distfile to be hosted somewhere (eg freebsd.org) - Submit normal ports PR. This is basically the same as any other port except for the requirement to host the distfile. -- Peter Jeremy
