Howdy,
At the last LinuxWorld, Jean-Baptist Kempf of the VLC project visited
our booth, and mentioned that they are planning on dropping the BeOS
platform because it does not have support for C99 which will be a
requirement for the next version of VLC (I hope I got that right, but
Urias can correct me if I am wrong).
I don't know the (technical) implications of this new requirement or
whether it is worthwhile to keep the BeOS port alive or go for a
"clean" Haiku port (as was mentioned on the Ruby port thread
recently). I just thought I would make the Haiku developers aware of
this anyway, since I would assume that we all want VLC on our platform
in one way or another.
I don't know the details, but I am sure Jean-Baptist could provide
them in case any of you want to know. You can find his contact
information here:

HTH,
Jorge
