I disappointed to hear that Grip has been dropped from Debian without a
proper substitute.
Asunder does not submit entries to freedb.org. What programs that are in
Debian allow ripping/titling and submission of entries to freedb.org?
I was attempting to post a bug that Grip does not tag flac files, having
tried Grip after Asunder failed to rip a track off a brand new cd (just
the one track, which read fine in Grip, even though both use cdparanoia).
I noticed on sourceforge that someone had noticed the Grip author absent
and had been unable to contact the Grip author and had started a fork
*based on the Debian patches*, http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp3mesa/
Has any attempt been made to inform the Grip mailing list of Grip being
dropped from Debian, or for Grip maintainer in Debian to use MP3Mesa?
Also, would posting a follow-up bug report on Grip in reportbug cause
that message to appear as a follow-up to Bug#515887? It is not clear
from the message I read nor from reportbug what happens. I actually
prefer to use reportbug to follow-up on a bug rather than emailing
bug-num...@bugs.debian.org as the library dependency information is
helpful to other bug reporters as well as the maintainer.
I have also resorted to using several packages in Debian that manipulate
tags in MP3 and other music files, as they have different strengths.
If a package is to be dropped like this, please give some warning - I do
use apt-listchanges and an alert as a package update would reach more
people than any related mailing lists.
Regards,
Arthur Marsh.
