Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "arename".
* Package name : arename * Version : 1.6 * Upstream Author : Frank Terbeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://ft.bewatermyfriend.org/comp/arename.html * License : 2-clause BSD license * Section : sound It builds these binary packages: arename - automatic audio file renaming arename is a tool that is able to rename audio files by looking at a file's tagging information, from which it will assemble a consistent destination file name. The format of that filename is configurable for the user by the use of template strings. I suppose there is already similar software in Debian, I for one know of lltag. Why do I want to add another one? I worked with some of them, and only arename felt right ;) It supports Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and FLAC. It's highly configurable, including hooks written in Perl. The initial debianization was done by upstream for grml, I cleaned up afterwards. I was told lintian does not like binaries like arename.pl, so I added a patch from upstream to rename it all to arename. Upstream will apply this patch to the 2.0 series. Waiting for the 2.0 series to start packaging would not be feasible, as it's gonna take some time. The package appears to be lintian clean. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/arename - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/arename/arename_1.6.dsc The packaging is done in a Git repository, you can find it at git://cloudconnected.org/packages/arename or view it with gitweb at http://git.cloudconnected.org/?p=packages/arename;a=summary Source packages are built by the bin/genpkg.sh script with the help of gitpkg. I also heard doing direct patches to the upstream source is not liked and one should use quilt or dpatch. I think using Git for this task is enough to keep track of the changes and also way easier. Advocates of Git-based packaging (for example, Joey Hess) seem to do it this way. I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
