Description ktullavik 2018-10-31 05:42:21 UTC
I made this port a long time ago. It should be removed now because

* It relies fetching a database dump but this is now broken.
  The jamendo network has presumably changed a lot since this
  software was developed.

* Development stopped a long time ago.

* It has stability problems on multicore machines, which
  according to author is caused by design and will not be fixed.

* There are better ways of accessing the jamendo music network now.
  Like the website.

* Dependencies are from past times.

All in all, abondon!
Thanks!

Port currently has no maintainer (reset in ports r360920, 06 Jul 2014)

Reporter verified to have been maintainer in the past (emails match). 

Rationales listed in comment 1 should nevertheless be verified, with BROKEN and/or DEPRECATED with EXPIRATION_DATE set if/where appropriate and as relevant to findings.
