    Why was XMMS removed from the repos?

    Just curious if anyone knows.

    I'm not opposed to using Audacious, and I could certainly install xmms via other means. However, I'm really curious as to the reason it was removed.

    Re: Why was XMMS removed from the repos?

    Because it's not updated anymore upstream.
    Including a program with no future support or bugfixes etc in the repos of a LTS-release is not a good idea so it has been removed. Also there are actively maintaned players in the repos, some are even based on xmms like audacious.
    I just love it when you're being sarcastic --aks44
