[Easytag-mailing] easytag github repository.

[Alex Bennee <kernel-hacker bennee com>]

Hi,

While engaging in one of my customary clean-ups of my music collection
I found EasyTag was missing the ability to tag Album Artists. On
checking out the mail list archive I see a number of people have
submitted patches to Jerome. However as there is no live SCM
controlled version of EasyTag it's hard for people to see if their
work has been merged.

I've taken the liberty of creating a repo on github:

http://github.com/stsquad/easytag

I've created it from the "development" series tarballs and then
applied the Gentoo patches:

easytag-2.1.6-cddb.patch
easytag-2.1.6-desktop_entry.patch
easytag-2.1.6-new_libmp4v2.patch

If Jerome releases a new tarball I'll merge it into this git repo.
EasyTag is a fantastic bit of software but I do feel the lack of a
repo makes it much harder than it needs to be for people to
contribute. My sincere hope is this repo will be quickly obsoleted by
and official SCM repo being created.

In the meantime if anyone wants to send merge requests through github
I'll happily consider including them in my tree. Github has some nice
tools for tracking forks which I can heartily recommend trying out
although of course any git repo can be merged if you don't want to
work on github.

Apologies to anyone if I didn't choose their ${PREFERRED_SCM}, I just
use git every day so it's the most familiar to me.

Regards,
