Thanks for the warm reception, everybody!

Can you send me it here? I guess that I won't have problems with SF's
mailing lists eating attachments. :-)

Depending on what we have, I would be glad to integrate them in a sane
manner that would make people keeping the tarball buildable on Debian-based
systems.

Robert is planning to move LAME to a beta phase and, then, of course, to a
releaseable version.

BTW, regarding LAME, since a good amount of the active developers prefer to
use CVS, while I like git (the little that I know of git), I maintain a very
outdated, half-broken, and unofficial mirror of LAME here:

I would like to start over the right way and, perhaps, it would be a good
idea to keep it under the pkg-multimedia-maintainers umbrella. What do you
guys think of that?
