[Nix-dev] What's the status of mplayer?

Hi,

the package database features an expression 'MPlayer'. However, that
expression cannot be built because it refers to a version of the
source code that isn't available for download anymore. There is a
comment in pkgs/applications/video/MPlayer/default.nix that says:

  # 1.0_rc2 is outdated according to website - use trunk instead

Now, there doesn't seem to be much of a point in keeping expressions
around that cannot be built. Shouldn't we remove that one?

Take care,
Peter
