Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the distmp3 package.
The package description is: The distmp3 package contains a client, distmp3, and a daemon, distmp3host, which can be installed on many machines to provide fast distributed encoding of music (typically from a CD-ripper or batch script) using an encoder of your choice - usually MP3, Ogg Vorbis, or flac. . abcde is one such CD ripper wrapper which has builtin support for distmp3 and can use it very efficiently, especially in the case where the machine with the best CD-ROM drive is unable to encode the extracted audio at a satisfactory speed. . The current tradeoff is that the client may not pass command-line arguments to the encoder being run on the machines running the distmp3hosts. Distmp3 is a package in top condition; there are a few wishlist bugs, one fairly hairy, and one unreproducible one. I no longer have an interest in maintaining it ever since I got my new workstation which obsoleted the need for me to use distmp3. I also need to go to school soon and I need to lighten my package load. Maintaining this package will require a rudimentary command of Perl. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (499, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8.1 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8)
