[Python-apps-team] Bug#825033: sonata: new upstream beta release using Python 3

[Simon McVittie]

Package: sonata
Version: 1.6.2.1-6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Control: block -1 by 808824

The original sonata website has vanished, but there are two maintained
forks.

http://www.nongnu.org/sonata/ points to https://github.com/multani/sonata/
which has a beta release 1.7b1 running under Python 3. This requires
python-mpd2, a fork of python-mpd with Python 3 compatibility, which
I've just uploaded to NEW (#808824 will be closed when this reaches
the archive).

There is also <https://codingteam.net/project/sonata> which points to
<https://git.gitorious.org/sonata/sonata>, but that seems to be dead
(latest commit 2012, no releases since 1.6.2.1) so I would suggest
ignoring it.

I have prepared a proof-of-concept update for the Sonata packaging,
attached. Also available from:
ssh://git.debian.org/git/users/smcv/sonata.git

Regards,
