Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-05-29
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the xanim package. xanim is non-free, but
the reasons I'm RFA'ing it are (a) I don't use it and (b) it appears
to be barely maintained upstream, so I'm tired of looking at the bug
entries for it.
(If nobody requests this by 2002-06-30, I'll orphan it outright.)
The package description is:

and Type P frames are currently ignored, but will be added in
future revisions.
+ WAV audio files may have their sound added to any animation type
that doesn't already have audio, by specifying the .wav file
after the animation file on the command line.
+ AU audio files may have their sound added to any animation type
that doesn't already have audio, by specifying the AU file after
the animation file on the command line.
+ any combination of the above on the same command line.
.
XAnim also provides various options that allow the user to alter
colormaps, playback speeds, looping modes and can provide on-the-fly
scaling of animations with the mouse.
.
The AVI/Quicktime codecs for which source is not available can be
installed by a separate package, xanim-modules. These include Radius
Cinepak, CYUV, H261, H263, and Intel Indeo (3.1, 3.2, 4.1 and 5.0).
Note that these modules are only available on Alpha, i386, and
PowerPC platforms.
