we should ask ourselves whether it makes sense to declare lv2core and slv2 as unmaintained and up for grabs (if that's possible in MacPorts), as they don't seem to be used anywhere. LV2 1.x and Lilv is where all the action is now, and has been for quite some time (at least since LV2 1.0 which came out in April 2012 IIRC). I'm not aware of any major LV2 host that still uses slv2 (in fact its list of dependents in Ubuntu 14.04 is empty as well, I just checked that). Of course, there might be some projects out there that still use slv2, you never know. But IMHO we can't keep on maintaining the old stuff forever, unless there's someone who has a real interest in them.
I agree. Drobilla describes lilv as the improved successor to slv2, so I would propose to mark both lv2core and slv2 as obsolete, replaced by their respective successors, unless someone really wants to make a case for slv2. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45185#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
