Public bug reported: The current version of checkflac (in 18.10 LTS / Cosmic) is badly out- of-date:
* It cannot handle filenames with spaces (fairly common for ripped .flac files). * It is hardwired to use /dev/hdc as the name of the CD drive. * It does not report what the invalid Disc-ID _is_ making it hard to withdraw bogus data from various websites. ALL of the above problems, and perhaps more, have been fixed upstream, https://sourceforge.net/projects/flactag/ E.g., "checkflac: make script more resilient for filenames containing spaces or colons", https://sourceforge.net/p/flactag/git/ci/346d0ad569d7f6bf0a8232975712a42991a5650c/ (which was done back in 2015). There have apparently been about six fixes since the last release (2.0.4), which is apparently the version in Ubuntu: 346d0ad (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) checkflac: make script more resilient for filenames containing spaces or colons 827399c discid: exit non-zero on error cd14b51 Default to /dev/cdrom, allow override 264512e checkflac: exit non-zero on error or mismatch 6e81155 autotools: create uninstall-hook to remove symlinks to man pages 6f6e1eb (tag: 2.0.4) Fil updates in preparation for release ** Affects: flactag (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821941 Title: checkflac needs to be updated from upstream To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flactag/+bug/1821941/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
