Bug#555895: O: libmusicbrainz-2.1

2009-12-14 Thread Yavor Doganov
Hi Jens,

I wanted to prepare a QA upload of the orphaned package 
libmusicbrainz-2.1, but noticed that you're in Uploaders.  Are you 
interested in adopting it?

IOW, should I keep my hands off?

I was put as uploader because I was sponsor initially. I have been
thinking about adopting it, but have been somewhat busy (with
mercurial-buildpackage among other things) and also a bit worried
about http://musicbrainz.org/doc/libmusicbrainz which states that
This version of the client library uses the old RDF web service and
should not be used in new development.  I guess the right thing to do
is fix the bugs in 2.1.5 and in addition upload version 3.0.2.  I will
try to get around to it soon I hope...


 IOW, should I keep my hands off?


No, please go ahead and NMU.

Cheers,

A. Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion.
Q. Why is top posting bad?

Yes, it's considered obsolete, but still widely used.

 I guess the right thing to do is fix the bugs in 2.1.5

Only one bug, the FTBFS on GNU/Hurd.  #384139 is marked as
unreproducible by the previous maintainer (also upstream).

 and in addition upload version 3.0.2. 

It's in Debian since quite some time now (libmusicbrainz3).  But only
gnome-mplayer uses it AFAICS.  I guess I'll have to port my package
cynthiune.app to the new API one day...

  IOW, should I keep my hands off?
 No, please go ahead and NMU.

Thanks for the green light; I'll prepare a QA upload soon.

Bug#555895: O: libmusicbrainz-2.1

2009-11-12 Thread Lukáš Lalinský
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

This is a C/C++ client library for the MusicBrainz web service. It's
been deprecated
upstream, ideally no package in Debian should depend on it. It will
stop working with
the next MusicBrainz server release.

I no longer use Debian as my OS. Even though I'd like to keep
maintaining this package, I'm afraid I don't have enough time to do it.
