Hello. As my previous sponsor isn't responding to emails, I'm seeking a new sponsor for libmp3-tag-perl (MP3::Tag, a perl module for reading and writing ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags in mp3 files).
The major changes from a packaging perspective relative to the last version in debian are the promotion of several example scripts to /usr/bin, which require special handling: typeset_audio_dir outputs LaTeX lists and cd covers from directories of audio files. To process the output the user needs LaTeX and the LaTeX class cd-cover.cls. I got this from: http://www.tug.org/cgi-bin/dirarchive/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cd-cover.tgz and put it in the cd-cover/ directory in the source tree. I built it by running 'tex cd-cover.ins'. It is not built as part of the debian build process, just installed with dh_install. I checked this and the other tex-related stuff with the people on debian-tetex-maint, and they are happy with my approach. I only Suggest: the latex stuff so people aren't forced to install it just to use the library. cd-cover.cls is part of tex-live (but not tetex) so eventually I could just Suggest: that and not ship the class myself, but tex-live is not guaranteed to make it in for etch. Two other scripts promoted to /usr/bin/, mp3info2 and audio_rename, have optional extra functionality enabled by adding /usr/share/doc/libmp3-tag-perl/examples/mod/ to PERLLIB. After discussion with upstream, I've decided to leave this situation as is, and just document it in README.Debian. If you rebuild this for upload, please include -v0.97-1 to dpkg-buildpackage so it picks up the Closes: from earlier changelog entries. The package was built with pbuilder and is lintian/linda clean.
