GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 587293
sound-juicer links to both musicbrainz and musicbrainz3 if both are installed
Last modified: 2010-03-10 17:54:20 UTC
On my system where both musicbrainz libraries are installed (not all apps are migrated to MB3), sound-juicer links to both. $ ldd /usr/bin/sound-juicer | grep musicbrainz libmusicbrainz.so.4 => /usr/lib/libmusicbrainz.so.4 (0x00007fa968309000) libmusicbrainz3.so.6 => /usr/lib/libmusicbrainz3.so.6 (0x00007fa9680a8000) This seems useless as MB3 seems to have precedence over MB in lookup_cd() from libjuicer/sj-metadata-getter.c To follow, a patch against the gnome-2-26 branch to only select "musicbrainz3" even if "musicbrainz" is available. Thanks
Created attachment 137550 [details] [review] patch to build/link against only one musicbrainz library
Created attachment 137552 [details] [review] patch to build/link against only one musicbrainz library patch with my correct email address, sorry for the noise
That's not a bug, both offer access to different web services.
Oh ok. Would you accept a patch that adds configure switches for both libraries then (--disable-musicbrainz --disable-musicbrainz3) ? Thanks
I must say I like how you mark this as "NOTABUG", at the very least it should turn into a migration bug instead, as: From http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Web_Service "If you are using libmusicbrainz version 2.x or earlier or libtunepimp to access MusicBrainz currently, then you are using this old web service. You are strongly encouraged to migrate your existing application over to the new XML Web Service." Now the timeplan for when they will start using their "Next generation schema" seems to be halting, and thus it may take some time before they scrap the "Old RDF web service", but at the very least if they are planning on removing it, you should plan on stop using it?
