Description Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

<https://svn.hispalinux.es/svn/abcde/trunk/abcde.conf> documents the CDDBPROTO variable. This variable is also used in the 2.3.3 release, but it is not mentioned in the documentation. It's listed briefly in the ChangeLog, but that's all. Since upstream appears to be pretty much dead (last release from 2005 and not even mentioned on the home page), I'm asking you to add it to abcde.conf the same way it was done to trunk. No changes to the code are necessary to support it.

(The reason for using it is because with the default CDDBPROTO=5, I get names consisting of nothing more than a bunch of question marks when the names are not representable in latin1.)

I'm just gonna put the last svn snapshot in the tree instead. :)

Subversion revision 235 in the tree now, as abcde-2.3.99.7_p235, with new documented variables in /etc/abcde/abcde.conf :)

Thanks, Harald
