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?
