I've added XMMS support to the iPodder Debian package using
PyXMMS.
I'm just starting to learn Python. The only thing I'd written in Python
previously is a script to remove large attachments in email messages and store
them in a database, replacing them with a link in the message to retrieve the
attachment over http. This task was made much simpler than it would have been
in other languages because of the Python email module. I'm very impressed with
the large library of Python classes available.

After my experiment in packaging JavaHMO, I decided
to try to package iPodder. The results are
encouraging. I haven't figured out how to use all of the
debhelper tools yet, but dpkg -b seems to do the job
adequately well while I'm learning.
The iPodder package is in my repository, which you can add to your
sources.list:
deb http://packages.pinkhamster.net/ unstable main
Since wxWidgets 2.5.3 appears to have been removed from sid, I've copied it
from snapshot.debian.net into my
repository to satisfy iPodder's dependencies.
