multimedia/vlc08 Has not built in ages (does not like current or anything like current ffmpeg) and is an ancient version; there are three newer versions of vlc in pkgsrc. There does not appear to be anything using it any more, so it's probably time for it to go.I use this as it is the last WxWidgets, non-Qt version available and I find it useful for embedded projects. I admit I keep an old ffmpeg around to build it with.
