Upstream repo archived by the owner on Mar 3, 2022 Does anyone want to merge random forks or should we sunset it? References: https://github.com/CDrummond/cantata/ https://github.com/CDrummond/cantata/network
It seems there is still an interest in keeping this project alive. From what I've seen, the https://github.com/nullobsi/cantata fork (last commit 3 days ago) would probably be the best candidate to use, with fixes for Taglib 2.x and even ported to Qt6. Taglib 1.x support was dropped, however, so a dance will have to be done to either prepare an update to land at the same time as taglib 2.x (my personal preference) or disable the TAGLIB option for the time being.
For the record: I have a working port of cantata 3.2.0 based on the https://github.com/nullobsi/cantata fork using Qt 6.7.1 and taglib-2.0.1 which unblocks bug# 276677, but will need to be simultaneously committed with it. It is basically ready for the taglib 2.x update as-is, with no loss in functionality compared to the previous version. Some work should to be done to enable the udisks2 backend on FreeBSD, however, but this can be done at a later point in time and is not a show-stopper.

Hale <jhale@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2024-06-14 03:24:10 +0000 Commit: Jason E. Hale <jhale@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2024-06-14 05:29:26 +0000 audio/cantata: Update to 3.2.0 Switch to active fork as the original author archived their repo and is no longer working on it. [1] The most notable changes are that the project has been ported to Qt6 and has added support for TagLib 2.x. The QT5 option has been renamed to QTMULTIMEDIA. Enable QTMULTIMEDIA for streaming support by default instead of VLC as vlc still uses Qt5 and pulls in many more unneeded dependencies. Disable audio CD support by default. It builds, but doesn't work, even in the previous version. It will take some more work to port the udisks2 backend of the internal trimmed-down copy of Solid to bsdisks. This is primarily an MPD frontend and optical media has generally fallen out of popularity, so this is a bit of a rainy day project. Pet portclippy(1) and portlint(1). Whitespace cleanup.
