Also there have been updates, this package was not updated since 2015 in the repository
I therefore conclude that nobody actually uses this.
Official webpage was also not updated since then.
Upstream's requirements.txt wrongly suggests that redis==3.x is support
(missing upper-bound constraint), but the tests break due to API
incompatibilities.
I've introduced the plugin and have been maintaining it ever since, so
it's time to make myself the official maintainer in order to avoid
confusion about who to address when issues about the alternatives plugin
arise.

This introduces the following upstream changes:
* The package is now on PyPI
* Require at least beets v1.4.7
* Update album art in alternatives when it changes
* Python 3 support (Python 2.7 continues to be supported)
* Support the format aliases defined by the convert plugin ('wma' and
'vorbis' with current beets)
* Bugfix: Explicitly write tags after encoding instead of relying on
the encoder to do so
* Bugfix: If the formats config option is modified, don't move files
if the extension would change, but re-encode
I updated this because I was pinged by @wisp3rwind about moving back to
@geigerzaehler's repository at [1].
This is what @wisp3rwind wrote in the comment[2] (which was originally
directed to @Profpatsch):
(I hope you're the one to bug, or at least can ping someone else), I
just noticed that you switched the NixOS package to my repository.
Would you please switch it back to this repo soon-ish? The code here
is better tested, and [3] is handled less elegantly on my fork since
it requires changes to the configuration. The latter are undocumented,
but whoever has bothered to take a look at the code might end up with
(harmless) unused config entries.
So in essence we're now back to the original upstream repository again,
which I changed to @wisp3rwind's fork in 29e89248bfe74ca8d9d539c7ae441f
because it fixed issues with Python 3.
Stripping the long_description from setup.py also doesn't seem to be
required anymore, but I didn't investigate why (might be because either
our Python tooling now sets a default language or the README simply no
longer has non-ASCII characters).

Since 0f38d9669ffd74991b65a9c40cdbcf2a98438d1f, the default Python
version for Python 3 is now Python 3.7.
It has been a while since beets had a new release, but the fix for
Python 3.7 is already in master (and it's also rather small), so I
decided to cherry-pick the commit as a patch.
I've built the package along with its tests and they failed at first,
but the errors were unrelated. So I disabled the tests for pylint, as
they're failing right now.
In addition I also needed to temporarily revert
0d2f06ae3a1f8347dc09cd0dfe6d12b757368e4d, which supposedly should fix
issues with Python 2 but aparently breaks Python 3 support and during
the beets tests we get a ModuleNotFoundError for the "_gi_gst" module.
However I didn't further investigate why this happens, as I'm time
constrained right now. But after disabling the pylint tests and the
revert of the mentioned gst-python commit, the beets tests succeed.

We need to set dontUseImakeConfigure in a few places to prevent imake
from overriding the default configure phase. This packages all have a
configure script that needs to get run:
- Xaw3d
- R
- tkgate
- ssvnc
