retitle 279526 RM: icecast-client -- RoQA; orphaned for 500+ days, unsupported
upstream
reassign 279526 ftp.debian.org
thanks
I think we should remove icecast-client.
* Orphaned for 1 year and 136 days.
* Upstream rewrote it from scratch, and renamed it to ices:
<http://www.icecast.org/ices.php>
There are two flavors: ices0 for MP3, and ices2 for Ogg Vorbis.
ices0 has patent issues due to its ability to re-encode MP3s;
while it should be possible to package an unencumbered version,
no one expressed an interest:
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2005/11/msg00054.html>
* ices2 does have a Debian package, and users will still be able to
stream Ogg Vorbis files and soundcard input.
* popcon: 91 installations, 17 votes.
Thanks,
Matej
