going back through my archives, it appears that at one point, libtunepimp was a dependency for qt, though it appears that not for 4.4.1 or 4.4-copy. >> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190789 > > On FreeBSD at least, this port is still maintained.As Stefan said, we need a > workaround, but that's probably just leaving tunepimp unused -- in any case > when (if?) the RDF webservice goes away and tunepimp stops working, that's a > runtime thing. I'm not sure the issue of being maintained on FreeBSD has any relevance, unless they made libtunepimp use mpg4v2. Given that it's out of qt and the honchos at kde-multimedia are looking at a wholesale replacement, I think we can put this to rest, unless there's some overwhelming reason to fix libtunepimp. I thought we might be using this.
