Hi, Please find attached gmpc-plugin-coveramazon-0.14.0.ebuild. This plugin fetches cover art, and album information from amazon. gmpc-0.14 is needed.

It's trivial to adapt this ebuild to other plugins for gmpc. If this one is ok, I will send them later.

The issue here is that I am not sure if I want to fill the ebuild tree with bunch of new packages. I am thinking of sticking them into an overlay somewhere instead. See, I could decide to just put 2-3 selected gmpc plugins in the tree, but then I'd be easy target for "plugin X is in the tree, why can't plugin Y be there as well?" requests.

I see the problem, I don't know the process to add an ebuild in an overlay. As I understand, each overlay has different rules about that, and the most appropriate overlay for gmpc's plugins (Sound) doesn't have any documentation. Do you want me to send other ebuilds here, create a new bug for each or do nothing ?

Furthermore, I wasn't able to find any organized movement to offload dozens of plugin ebuilds from main tree to overlays, so I assume there is none. I'm inclined to just add gmpc plugins to main tree's media-plugins so there's even more plugins in the tree, so people will be more inclined to do something about it (unfortunately, I do not have time to work on a complete solution via overlays). Send the ebuilds in at your convenience (attach to this bug), I'll try to add them today or tomorrow.
Created attachment 116306 [details] Improved ebuild I have checked your ebuild, and made improvements in this one.
Actually, no need to send anything - all available plugins are in the tree now.
