Hello! We would like to offer Emms, the Emacs Multimedia System, to be included into the GNU system.
* General Information ** Do you agree to follow GNU policies? Yes. (Surprising, isn't it?) ** Package name and version: Emms, latest version being 1.3 (The name is case-insensitive; all of EMMS, Emms and emms have been used in the past, and have different followers) ** Author Full Name <Email>: Since the question is singular, I'll put only the principal author there. A lot of code has been contributed by other people (see the AUTHORS file). Jorgen Schäfer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ** URL to home page (if any): http://www.gnu.org/software/emms/ ** URL to sources (if any): Accessible via CVS from savannah: export CVS_RSH="ssh" cvs -z3 -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/emms co emms The latest release should be available on the webpage, but has been uploaded only recently. Luckily, you also have another option: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/emms/emms_1.3.tar.gz (or any other Debian mirror) Of course, apt-get install emms works as well, if you have Debian. ** Brief description of the package: EMMS is the Emacs Multi-Media System. It tries to be a clean and small application to play multimedia files from Emacs using external players. * Code ** Dependencies: GNU Emacs, and some kind of media player. By default, mpg321, ogg123 and mplayer are supported ** Configuration & compilation: This is an Emacs package. Put it in your `load-path', and read the README for a sample configuration. The Makefile install rule for site-wide installs has not been tested except for the Debian package. A working "make install" and "make uninstall" is intended to be included for the next release, but is not seen as a high priority. ** Documentation: Exists, written in Texinfo. There's of course the documentation within Emacs as well. * Licensing: GPL. We tried to get copyright assignments in, but that wasn't accepted as the project isn't officially GNU yet (something we try to fix now). * Similar projects: >From the README: | Many of it's ideas are derived from MpthreePlayer | (http://www.nongnu.org/mp3player), but it tries to be more | general and more clean. The motivation was to have a sensible interface to audio players, and it turned out to be able to play movies, too. The main difference to mp3player is that it has a much cleaner design. It is, so to say, a continuation (though a rewrite from scratch) of mp3player, not in competition to it. * Any other information, comments, or questions: Uhm. (require 'praise-gnu) (require 'praise-emacs) Thanks! -- Jorgen -- ((email . "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") (www . "http://www.forcix.cx/";) (gpg . "1024D/028AF63C") (irc .
