I'd much rather like to have all the tag-editing stuff be implemented
via the hooks mechanism, which would allow users to combine packages
with different licenses locally.
Also, now that we have the hooks mechanism, I want to keep the gPodder
"core" smaller than previously, because I don't want to maintain the
fully-featured all-included podcast client, but rather a small, stable
core of your beloved podcatcher where stuff like ID3/Vorbis tagging
added on top for power users. Ideally, the hooks mechanism (or whatever
it is it grows into) should become the "plugin" system of gPodder and
features should be implemented that way.
If anybody wants to start a spin-off project for providing tagging
functionality as a hooks script, that'd be great :) Maybe this script
could be a candidate for Bernd's hooks repo?
Thanks,
Thomas
