Event TimelineComment Actions Does this removal warrant some post on -current or so to make sure no one's using it? Comment Actions I've already sent an email to -multimedia and no one said they, or a port, is using it, but I can send to -current as well. Comment Actions Won't be able to test till I fully get home from the K-W Hackathon next week. Just want to make sure userspace sequencing via audio/alsa-seq-server or audio/sndio (what I use) are not affected.

May also want to rebase after rG01addd846c64fc2c8be610d83bfdc84ddb57f2ec Comment Actions False alarm. Turns out pkgbase's plist logic relies on at least staging changes in git (no need to commit). Userspace sequencing is confirmed not affected. |
