developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

"extract" script for extraction. Many cases where a custom EXTRACT_CMD
simply copied the distfile into the work directory are no longer
needed. The extract script also hides differences between pax and
tar behind a common command-line interface, so we no longer need code
that's conditional on whether EXTRACT_USING is tar or pax.

run-time dependency (DEPENDS) on a tool is to append a ":run" modifier
to the tool name, e.g.,
USE_TOOLS+= perl:run
Tools without modifiers or with an explicit ":build" modifier will
cause build dependencies (BUILD_DEPENDS) on those tools to be added.
This makes the notation a bit more compact.

(lossless) encoding into mp3.
With the cost of hard drive storage falling under $1 USD per GB,
storing audio in a lossless format is now inexpensive and practical.
The FLAC codec is an OpenSource and Free software of very high
quality. The FLAC format supports meta-info as ID3v1 tags or OGG
comments. FLAC even has plugins for popular audio players such as
XMMS and WinAMP. This script also helps with the generation of MP3
files from FLAC, whilst preserving the tags. This way you can easily
convert an album from FLAC to MP3 for playing on a mobile audio
device. You will need LAME installed and in your $PATH. Using the
script is simple:
* cd /path/to/directory/with/FLACS
* flac2mp3 *flac
After transcoding, you will have matching, tagged MP3 files in the
same directory. Note: Only use this script on flac files that you
trust to have non-malicous tags (ie, ones that you've created
yourself).
