abcde is a front end command-line utility (actually, a shell script) that grabs tracks off a CD, encodes them to ogg or mp3 format, and tags and names them with data from a CDDB server, all in one go. This package has nice story about it. It is essentially a script. And the author made it so that it _only_ works on debian. Howbout that for portable code. I primaraly wanted to run it on OpenBSD, I also maintain the OpenBSD port. And for my first attempt to port it I took a good look at the (check abcde-website) port of the month on NetBSD. The port that _only_ ran on NetBSD. Mind you, this is a shell-script. So for OpenBSD I created a patch with portability in mind. Wasn't hard at all, but I just kept it in mind. So now I ported the port to an rpm and taraa: It works out of the box. Well except for the device name for the cdrom. Sorry about that. Anyway, enjoy abcde. Groetjes, Han. ps: I sent my patch to the author, he never reacted even once. -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software
