Hello everyone,
as xmms is old as ages it is still used as multimedia player, but it pulls
in ton of things like gtk1 and libxml1 that are quite expected to have
security vulterabilities.
It would probably be good to:
a) remove it - everyone would scream
b) move it to some xmms repository to not let people on essentials
accidentaly install some sec hole.
Overall best bet would be just to get people to migrate to audacious or
qmmp or similar application.
Cheers
Tom
