Unretiring abcMIDI
abcMIDI has been actively maintained since 2019 by

I am following the procedure to unretire a long retired package.
Concern
s:
1. Seymour does not have any public version control. I created a
github repo that tracks changes. There are about 6 other mirrors - but
they have lost interest. https://github.com/sdgathman/abcmidi
2. The GPLv2 license is buried in readme.txt. I added a LICENSE file
to my git mirror. Should I include that as a patch?
3. The current
SPEC pulls the zip archive posted on Seymours site. I think that is
probably correct - as opposed to pointing at my github mirror. I am
adding the mirror link to the description.
4. The original package was
named abcMIDI. Should I rename to abcmidi? Upstream is a mixture.
Must be a Windows shop. :-)
I use this package regularly from my
personal rpm repo. So at least I have a vested interest!
