[pkg-mad-maintainers] Re: Debian packaging of EasyH10, WRT libid3tag

[Benjamin Seidenberg]

If the libid3tag maintainers don't accept your patch, it may be
possible to have it put in the debian version of libid3tag. What
exactly does your patch do? I can't quite tell. Is it possible to do
some rewriting to manage without the patched library? I cc'd this to
the mailinglist of the libid3tag maintainers for debian.

Cheers,
Benjamin
