System: NetBSD night-owl.duskware.de 8.99.14 NetBSD 8.99.14 (NIGHT-OWL) #592: Mon Apr 30 20:15:47 CEST 2018 martin@night-owl.duskware.de:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/NIGHT-OWL amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:

x11/qt5-qtmultimedia has a hardcoded dependency on pulseaudio.
This is a bad choice on NetBSD, where at least starting with NetBSD 8.0 OSS
is a much saner sound and more lightweight sound interface.

The pkg should at least optionally support other choices and respect the
global "pulseaudio" option.

Over to maintainer.


State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: nia@NetBSD.org
State-Changed-When: Sun, 24 May 2020 09:53:54 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
It now respects this option, but there isn't much support for alternate backends.

I believe that's a separate option, and one that I could help with, but I'd need
help from someone more experienced with the Qt codebase and contributing to it.

Actually, I mean "problem", not "option", but edit-pr doesn't seem to be a very
good editor...
