Bug#482509: idjc: FTBFS: Nonexistent build-dependency: liblame-dev
Hi Peter,
IMO it is a very bad idea to have a package build against a legally
dubious library just because the system it was built on happened to have
it installed.
lame itself is not legally dubious, it's just unfortunate in being
liable to software patent enforcement on MP3 encoding. That's reason
enough not to include lame in Debian, of course.
It should be possible to build idjc without lame, thereby making it
suitable for encoding Ogg Vorbis streams only. It would still be a
useful application in that context.
Cheers!
Daniel
