Re: building aaxine

Bryan,

If you really want aaxine, I think you're going to have to drop back
to xine-ui-0.99.4.  I found this on a google search for "aaxine remove":

"Changelog for xine-0.99.5-1.fc7.src.rpm
* Sat May 05 2007 Matthias Saou <http://freshrpms.net/> 0.99.5-1

- Update to 0.99.5.
- Remove no longer needed patches.
- Remove aaxine and its man pages, no longer built and cacaxine is nicer."

I have aaxine as part of xine-ui-0.99.4, have used it, and it works
fine.
