The freedb.org CD track database is dead. Its shutdown had already
been announced for March, and it finally disappeared.
gnudb.org, whoever they are, offers the last working alternative
that still supports the CDDB protocol. Actually, the port was dead
yesterday, but they fixed it today. I suggest we switch the default
of cdio(1)'s cddb command to gnudb.
I think we can also retire cddb/888 from /etc/services. Literally
nothing uses this any longer. gnudb uses the "cddbp-alt" port of
8880, but I don't think we need a services(5) entry for a single
site. If anything in ports uses getservbyname("cddb", ...), it's
already broken anyway.
OK?
PS:
Clearly the NSA does not consider the unencrypted transmission of
compact disc identifiers a significant source of intelligence, or
they would sponsor a better server...
