1 I haven't spent much time on beets lately. Current version in tree is 1.1.0,
2 upstream is at 1.3.1. I have the ebuild more or less ready, but it still needs
3 testing/cleanups before I'd be willing to commit to tree. I would *really*
4 appreciate someone taking the package (and several deps, see end of my email).
5 I'd still help out if needed as secondary maintainer.

7 Only missing dependency I could see is version bump for mutagen[1]. Upstream has
8 quite extensive testsuite, plugin architecture which is great for USE flags and
9 Adrian (sampsyo) generally reacts fast and accepts patches that fix or simplify
10 packaging work. In other words...ideal upstream.

13 Dependency chain that is related and maintained by me:
14 dev-python/pyechonest
15 dev-python/munkres
16 dev-python/unidecode
17 dev-python/python-musicbrainz-ngs
18 dev-python/audioread
19 dev-python/pylast
20 dev-python/pyacoustid
21 dev-python/bluelet
22 media-sound/rgain
23 media-sound/beets
24
25 Currently there are 2 bugs for beets, one is version bump[2] of beets itself and
26 the second[3] is request for replacement of ffmpeg with virtual requires
27 (which is a bit tricky and would likely need upstream work).
28
29 Any takers? Feel free to add yourself to the top of metadata.xml and ping me on
30 IRC. Unless I'll find some other primary maintainer I'll move to package to
31 maintainer-wanted so that bugs don't accidentally end up in black hole.
