Re: What to do about the situation with id3v2
Hello Stefan,
As someone who has been in your situation many times (I look after more
orphans than an animal shelter) you do need to think about the longer
term. I took over psmisc in 2000, for example.
I saw some suggested you make the library a basic shim to the currently
developed one and that's probably a good compromise if it doesn't look
like too much work. The ideal would be for programs to use a supported
library. I would say that the library change would be about the same
effort as the command-line one but there's more ongoing support.
It's the ongoing work that you need to consider. Also I wonder how
many of the other programs know the id3 library state. I was actually
looking for an id3 tagger for a program of mine and wasn't aware.
