Package: vorbis-tools Version: 1.4.0-5 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/vorbistagedit
While working on the fix for #763338, related to the "vorbistagedit" script, I discovered another issue with the same script:
The documentation claims that without input files given as command-line arguments the list of input filenames is read from stdin, and indeed there is code in the script to do so. However, that code is never actually executed. If there are no input files given as command-line arguments, the "usage" error message is shown and the script quits.
I assume that the guard showing the "usage" information and exiting was introduced in order to avoid confusion for users that launch the script vorbistagedit without parameters and get a program that waits for input without saying anything. I worked around this confusion by adding an explanatory message in case that stdin comes from an interactive console. So the guard preventing input from stdin could be removed. The "usage" error message is only shown, if *after* reading from stdin the filename list is still empty.
The change is in git's master branch. Probably this isn't important enough to make it into Jessie, is it?
