Bug#799008: libdumb1: New upstream author/website and version

[Andreas Gnau]

Package: libdumb1
Version: 1:0.9.3-6+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
the original libdumb upstream and its website have been dormant for quite a
while. There exists a fork on Github that contains a lot of fixes.
https://github.com/kode54/dumb

This fork has been endorsed by the original upstream in Jan 2014. Thus, it can
be considered a successor and it would make sense to package the new version
1.0.0 for Debian.

Quoting http://dumb.sourceforge.net/ :

"Good news: although the original team are not actively working on DUMB
anymore, kode54 has been! He has created a fork here with very extensive
changes including new file formats, lots of playback improvements, and CMake
build support. Windows users can immediately hear it in action by installing
foobar2000 and adding the DUMB Module decoder component.
DUMB is also the official mod playback plugin for Allegro 5. [...]"

Regards, Andreas
