+ <div class="date">25th September 2014</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>I use the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/">lsdvd tool</a>
+to handle my fairly large DVD collection. It is a nice command line
+tool to get details about a DVD, like title, tracks, track length,
+etc, in XML, perl or human readable format. But lsdvd have not seen
+any new development since 2006 and had a few irritating bugs affecting
+its use with some DVDs. Upstream seemed to be dead, and in January I
+sent a small probe asking for a version control repository for the
+project, without any reply. But I use it regularly and would like to
+get <a href="https://packages.qa.debian.org/lsdvd">an updated version
+into Debian</a>. So two weeks ago I tried harder to get in touch with
+the project admin, and after getting a reply from him explaining that
+he was no longer interested in the project, I asked if I could take
+over. And yesterday, I became project admin.</p>
+
+<p>I've been in touch with a Gentoo developer and the Debian
+maintainer interested in joining forces to maintain the upstream
+project, and I hope we can get a new release out fairly quickly,
+collecting the patches spread around on the internet into on place.
+I've added the relevant Debian patches to the freshly created git
+repository, and expect the Gentoo patches to make it too. If you got
+a DVD collection and care about command line tools, check out
+<a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/git/ci/master/tree/">the git source</a> and join
+<a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/mailman/">the project mailing
+list</a>. :)</p>

- <div class="body"><p>Dear lazyweb. I'm planning to set up a small Raspberry Pi computer
-in my car, connected to
-<a href="http://www.dx.com/p/400a-4-0-tft-lcd-digital-monitor-for-vehicle-parking-reverse-camera-1440x272-12v-dc-57776">a
-small screen</a> next to the rear mirror. I plan to hook it up with a
-GPS and a USB wifi card too. The idea is to get my own
-"<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carputer">Carputer</a>". But I
-wonder if someone already created a good free software solution for
-such car computer.</p>
-
-<p>This is my current wish list for such system:</p>
-
-<ul>
-
- <li>Work on Raspberry Pi.</li>
-
- <li>Show current speed limit based on location, and warn if going too
- fast (for example using color codes yellow and red on the screen,
- or make a sound). This could be done either using either data from
- <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/">Openstreetmap</a> or OCR
- info gathered from a dashboard camera.</li>
-
- <li>Track automatic toll road passes and their cost, show total spent
- and make it possible to calculate toll costs for planned
- route.</li>
-
- <li>Collect GPX tracks for use with OpenStreetMap.</li>
-
- <li>Automatically detect and use any wireless connection to connect
- to home server. Try IP over DNS
- (<a href="http://dev.kryo.se/iodine/">iodine</a>) or ICMP
- (<a href="http://code.gerade.org/hans/">Hans</a>) if direct
- connection do not work.</li>
-
- <li>Set up mesh network to talk to other cars with the same system,
- or some standard car mesh protocol.</li>
-
- <li>Warn when approaching speed cameras and speed camera ranges
- (speed calculated between two cameras).</li>
-
- <li>Suport dashboard/front facing camera to discover speed limits and
- run OCR to track registration number of passing cars.</li>
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>If you know of any free software car computer system supporting
-some or all of these features, please let me know.</p>
