Hi, Fabian and others.

Thanks. I have been applying some patches that people have sent me,
but I still have quite a bit of work to do, as we have to triage
contributions from a lot of people and sourceforge's interface is not
entirely manipulable by e-mail or other convenient ways.
Anyway, as I have already talked privately with Fabian, I think that
the best person to answer about packaging a snapshot of LAME would be
Robert (in CC), since he has some patches fine-tuning the audio parts
of the project. Robert, is generating a package from the current
HEAD/master branch of CVS likely to have negative effects in
comparison with lame 3.99.5?
If so, what if we released a small bug fix of 3.99, say, 3.99.6? This
way, I think that we could address things that other people want and
we would save people from patching their local copies of lame.

Now, this is a question to Fabian: can you remind me why you are
repackaging lame instead of using the tarball that we ship?
Also, I saw that debian/rules uses two switches:
* --enable-expopt=full: I am not really sure if this has been touched
in the last decade or not, but I recall a discussion from a few years
ago that we had developers using (for the sake of simplicity) one of
the ready made Makefile that are in the repository.
* --with-fileio=lame: any reason to not use sndfile? It allows feeding
a considerable greater amount of file types into lame (including
FLAC). I personally use a local copy of lame recompiled with sndfile
just for transcoding mp3 and flac files into files with lower bitrate
(yes, file size is still something that matters).
OK, I will stop here. I hope that Robert can give everybody a position
on what he considers the status of HEAD.
Regards,
