+Title: Suddenly I am the new upstream of the lsdvd command line tool
+Tags: english, debian, multimedia

+
+<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>
