RFS: mimms - MMS (mms://) streaming media download utility



Hi folks,

I'm looking for a sponsor for the mimms package. This upload would close 
ITP bug #221806.

MiMMS is a fork of the "mmsclient" streaming media download utility 
originally from <http://www.geocities.com/majormms/> ... this utility 
is very handy at saving mms:// streams (usually from .asx files) so 
that they can be watched later (as opposed to in real-time).

The "mmsclient" package is included in many GNU/Linux distributions, but 
isn't available in Debian. Since "mmsclient" is not maintained upstream 
and is also the name of a completely unrelated project, I've taken over 
upstream maintainence with this new name. (As packaged, this is more or 
less the vanilla original mmsclient source). MiMMS aliases itself as 
"mmsclient" for backwards compatibility.

Anyway, here are it's vitals:

Package: mimms (formerly known as mmsclient, forked for maintainence)
Description: MMS (mms://) streaming media download utility
 MiMMS, formerly called "mmsclient", is a simple client to download
 streaming audio and/or video media from the internet using the MMS
 protocol (i.e. from mms:// type URLs, generally found in asx files).
 Downloaded streams can then be replayed offline at your leisure,
 using any compatible media player of your choice.
License: GPL

The package is lintian and linda clean and builds cleanly in pbuilder.

Source and binary packages can be downloaded from:
