The maintainer resigned, but updated to 6.0 because there were no = distfiles, and the code seemed to be gone for 5.3 is now on GitHub: https://github.com/sindremehus/subsonic I don't know whether 6.0 is quintessential, but from a pure license = perspective it seems odd that everyone now has to use a proprietary license with no = options given even though we still have the original 5.3 *and* a fork which = could very well gain traction of a port was added as an alternative. Just for the record, I know this takes work. Not asking for it to be = done, simply wondering why this happened the way it did. Cheers, Franco=
