Bug#677252: would you accept a backported patch for musicbrainz5 in kdemultimedia, for wheezy?
Hi folks,
I filed #677252 against kdemultimedia as part of a larger effort to transition
all Debian packages away from earlier libmusicbrainz versions, and I've been
hoping to achieve this in time for wheezy.
All versions prior to mb4 (which was never packaged for Debian) use an older,
deprecated musicbrainz API which has a number of problems, not least with
multi-disc releases. So all double-albums are messed up for example.
(You can see the progress of my bugs/patches etc. at <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=libmusicbrainz5;users=jmtd@debian.org>)
I've looked at kdemultimedia and it looks like I need to adapt two backported
patches from upstream, which is mostly straightforward but will require a bit
of time from me to get familiar with KDE and KDE packaging, etc.
I'd really like to see this done for wheezy but it's not worth me embarking on
it unless there's a chance you'd accept the patch.
So, would you? Please let me know ☺ It's 99% a sed-job (mb_* to mb5_*);
there are a small number of deprecated functions that need replacing but
I don't think kdemultimedia makes heavy use of them.
Many thanks!
