  • Re: HEADS-UP: virtual_oss in base

    Hi.

    Thanks for your hard work with sound subsystem including virtual_oss.

    But shouldn't ports commit 9b26d309123abf0e90651298b131783ba7d9b945
    reverted or re-targetting to 16 until MFC of base virtual_oss into
    stable/15 is finished?

    Yes, we can lock audio/virtual_oss, though, but possibly some people
    overlook it.

    Regards.

    As of 9cab9fde5eda ("virtual_oss: Port to base") [1], we have
    virtual_oss in the base system. Quoting from RELNOTES [2] to avoid
    repeating myself:

    virtual_oss is imported to base. The audio/virtual_oss port will
    stop being built from FreeBSD 15.0 onwards.

    Regarding user-facing changes, the only practical difference is
    the installation process. Everything is provided by the base
    system, except for the following optional components, which can
    be installed from ports:

    * sndio backend support: audio/virtual_oss_sndio
    * bluetooth backend support: audio/virtual_oss_bluetooth
    * virtual_equalizer(8): audio/virtual_oss_equalizer

    Apart from that, virtual_oss should work as expected. Users of
    virtual_oss can uninstall audio/virtual_oss and instead use the
    base system version from now on.

    The commits for the ports can be found here: [3][4][5]. In the next days
    I will also MFC virtual_oss to stable/15, so that it ships with
    15.0-RELEASE.
