In my opinion freecdb isn't dead. The library is included in many
software projects, also one done by myself. It's very stable and
bug-free, and so doesn't need many changes if at all, not sure yet
about the added programs. I intend to adopt the package to keep
the good quality code available through the Debian archive.

Regards, Gerrit.

BTW: tinycdb seems to be orphaned currently.
