Hi,
last week, libmodplug got retired from EPEL (both 5 and 6), see https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5960
But our users seem to miss it, it broke dependencies of qmmp and xine-lib.
I know you've orphaned the EPEL branches a few years ago, however, I'd like to ask you to reconsider the decision. RHEL based desktop is still not dead ...

I may reconsider that when/if I sometime start to use an EL based system that has some kind of use for or sensible means for audio output. But that time is not now, so I'm afraid it's a "no thanks" from me at the moment, someone else should look into it.

What would be a sensible means of audio output?

Audio hardware, speakers, something like that. Anyway none of the EL boxes I use have anything that I could even effortlessly test libmodplug with. And even if I could, I wouldn't sign up for maintaining something I don't actually use, that kind of "maintenance" is not what I want from EL distros/packages. This is exactly why I stopped maintaining EL libmodplug years ago, and nothing has really changed since. The package needs a maintainer who actually eats his own dog food at least to some extent.
