This one I am initially going to say I can't take as I'm sole maintainer of the cdparanoia project and have no means to review, build or test support for platforms other than Linux. I don't mean to discourage ports, I'm simply unable to perform any due diligence to bless a port or to maintain it. A 'drive-by' port is simply going to bitrot and eventually need to be removed without an active maintainer who can test changes/releases. Among other things, any new development is fairly certain to rip into the cdda interface layer to expose ECC flag functionality and I'd have no way to move non-Linux functionality forward. I've had many offers from people who were interested in 'maintaining' ports to other OSes in the official Xiph SVN, but interest has never lasted more than a year before the volunteer wandered off. Perhaps if Debian were interested in lending organizational commitment to maintaining a port, that might work. Monty -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
