Hi Klaumi,
I undid a faulty change I uploaded/introduced; nothing more, nothing
less. From here the floor is open; I am not holding you (or Benjamin
back, who also showed interest in this).
However, I have spent the energy / time I was willing to use on
libcdio-paranoia for the next many years. "Someone else(tm)" will have
to (properly) introduce the binary if they want it. It would be even
better if they had a stake/interest in libcdio-paranoia (which I do not)
and could become the maintainer of the package.
Thanks,
~Niels
