Why should this be included in the repository?

lsdvd is an handful tool to get usable information about DVDs (physical media, folder, iso) with native JSON output etc.

ℹ️ the author seems to have an issue regarding sourceforge tarball publication, but the latest version 0.20 is tagged in the VCS. I sent a message to the mailing list in order to know if the tarball for 0.20 can be released now. I think it would be better to wait for the 0.20 tarball if you can't package from the Git tag.

Are we allowed to redistribute it?

GPL

What kind of user will use this package, and how many users do you think will use this package?

Mostly power users. I use it to encode old DVDs into recent video format, programatically findout about the audio, subtitles, DVD titles (the longest) then generate a well formed ffmpeg call. (and because ffprobe cannot probe for DVD titles for instance).

Start by reviewing existing package addition requests in getsolus/packages and the linked lsdvd 0.20 source tree. Resolve whether the GPL-licensed 0.20 source can be redistributed from the Git tag or a released tarball; done means lsdvd is packaged for Solus and its command-line usage is available to users.
