Hi, Antoine!  Sorry I didn't get in touch, this was just a little side project
for me and I've been busy with other things.  I'm subscribed to your mailing
list now so I can keep up with changes better.  Plus, TBH there have been no
major issues that I felt the need to complain about.  ;-)

In Fedora we like to avoid bundling libraries wherever possible, so we need to
ship rencode and webm separately.  But I understand both rencode and webm are
small and it would be a pain for your users to require it as a dependency. 
(However, if you'd be interested in doing it anyway or making it an option at
build time, I'd be happy to send a patch your way.)

In cases like this, we'd still want to keep rencode seperate, but apply your
changes as a patch to that package so other consumers can benefit from your
bugfixes in upstream's absence.

Again, we really want to keep this functionality, we just need to ship the
package separately.

Awesome!  I'll go ahead and drop parti from the 0.9.0 package I'm working on. 
No sense in shipping it in Fedora if it's going to go away soon.

Thanks for the heads up!
