[packman] [PM] Jalbum 8.7.2-0.pm.1.1 (openSUSE 11.2/i586)

Fri Apr 2 10:24:42 CEST 2010

Ok. I guess we have to respect that, but bear in mind that we're using an updated version of metadata-extractor.jar, so that one should at least be bundled with Jalbum. The "official" version of metadata-extractor.jar is abandonware since over two years.
