Bug#765009: Subject: RFS: abcmidi/20140928-1 [ITA]

[Ross Gammon]

Hi All,

I know everyone is busy with the Jessie Release Freeze, but I would be
grateful if somebody could take a look at abcmidi (and sponsor if
happy). Abcmidi has been sitting unloved for a while now (since 2007).
It would be great to get the latest version into Jessie.

This time I am copying in the Debian Multimedia Team to get a wider
audience. Although probably not "mainstream" multimedia, it is MIDI! I
would be happy to move the package to pkg-multimedia from collab-maint
(maybe after the release to avoid unnecessary noise on the list).

Regards,

Ross
