Bug#617854: Packaging puddletag for Debian
Hope you guys don't mind. I've mixed the emails up a bit.
>- can you ship the documentation along with the source tarball?
I'll be doing this from the next major release onwards. I'm currently
in the process of converting the documentation to use Sphinx for this
exact reason.

Please do.

If you saw the code I use to create the deb, I'm sure you'd be wtf'ng
way into next week. ;)
What would maintaining the package with you entail? I have no idea
what goes on behind the scenes at distro, so please consider me an
idiot when you explain.

GPL-3. Blame my lack of an eye for detail for missing that. ;)

Where would I be able to find this?

Images are available via svn. They're 'compiled' in the source
tarball...Now that I think about it, I should probably include them.
I've renamed them though. Do you guys want them listed against what
they originally were?
puddlestuff/tagsources/CDDB.py is taken from CDDB.py (the project)
puddlestuff/audioinfo/compatid.py is taken from Picard
puddlestuff/audioinfo/wma.py is a derivative work from Picard's wma.py module.
The image handling code in puddlestuff/audioinfo/vorbis.py is kind of
from Picard (looked at the code to get an idea of how to do it).

I'll do it. Each option has one or two caveats that I have to sort
out, before I can make them public.
