Bug#477806: ITP: djbfft -- extremely fast library for floating-point convolution

So are you going to upload gjbfft to debian?

No, not really. I have prepared packages in our SVN repo [1], but I think it's unreasonable to upload just another library package to Debian for the sole purpose of fixing a warning in another library.

[1] <http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-multimedia/unstable/djbfft/>

Because a52dec is out of sync in Ubuntu. We have applied a patch which
simply removes the silly warning "No accelerated IMDCT transform
found" #441693

So do you want help with gjbfft? Or is there really no point in having
it in the archive.
Or would you consider applying patch to a52dec to remove the warning?

I'd favour actually fixing it, though. Simply removing a warning is not a method I would consider valid to get rid of it.

BTW do you want help with a52dec? Eg. fix lintian warnings, libtoolize
and convert to DEB5, DEB3, quilt, dh7 or CDBS etc

Well, at the moment I am the only (active) maintainer for a52dec in Debian, but my interest in the package could be more vivid, I admit. I'd highly appreciate if you could help out a bit and bring the package to the newest packaging standards.

Cause I have a little bit of time to do this. (I'll send git format-patches)

That sounds perfect, because the packaging is actually tracked in our GIT repository at [2] now. To work on the package I highly recommend you to apply as a member of the pkg-multimedia team on Alioth.
