Hi!

I'm the maintainer of abcde, the other Debian package that depends on
libwebservice-musicbrainz-perl. libwebservice-musicbrainz-perl has had
multiple new versions and a major rewrite in between 0.93 (current
Debian version) and 1.0.4 (current upstream version). It's now
supporting a newer version of the Musicbrainz web API (which is good)
but is now exposing a significantly different API (less good!).

For a new abcde release, we have support for the new version of
libwebservice-musicbrainz-perl and I need it to be updated in
Debian. The current maintainer can't deal with that, but is happy for
me to NMU (see #891584). So I'm warning you that I'm going to do this
shortly, probably this week.

Based on the code changes we've needed in abcde, I'm assuming this
will cause ripit to stop working in unstable at that point. The
changes aren't *huge*, but they're not small (see the patch in
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60 as a guide) so
I'm assuming you'll need to work with ripit upstream to make that
happen. Although... the ripit homepage link now points to a "domain
for sale" site - is there still an upstream?

Hi Steve,

Felix Suwald is MIA. I tried several time to contact him since 09/17
but got no response :-(

As I am not a perl hacker I can not take over ripit's upstream so
there are two possibilities:

1st: I could try to find a successor on debian-devel or somewhere else.
2nd: I orphan ripit in Debian.

Anyway I'll try to adapt the new API to ripit myself but won't be
willing to maintain as an upstream.

Maybe you can give me an advice?

Thanks for your efforts.

Hi Elimar!

That's a shame.

ACK. If upstream has gone away and you're not up to maintaining the
perl then it's definitely time to do one of those. Maybe an RFH to see
if somebody can help with the work? Maybe time to learn perl if you're
still wanting to use it.

As a heads-up, I uploaded the new version of
libwebservice-musicbrainz-perl late last night along with the new
upstream version of abcde, so the musicbrainz code in ripit will no
longer work in unstable:

(SID-AMD64)steve@tack:~/debian/abcde/abcde.git$ ripit --mb
RipIT version 4.0.0-beta20140508.

Lame not found (needed to encode mp3)!
Use oggenc instead (to generate ogg)?
Do you want to try oggenc? [y/n] (y) y

Please install WebService::MusicBrainz and dependencies
from your closest CPAN mirror before trying again with
option --mb.
Install by hand or using force because using (as root):
perl -MCPAN -e 'install WebService::MusicBrainz'
might fail.


For users happy with cddb it seems it will still work for now, though.
