Description:

Quod Libet is a music management program. It provides several different ways
to view your audio library, as well as support for Internet radio and
audio feeds. It has extremely flexible metadata tag editing and searching
capabilities.

Ex Falso is a tag editor with the same tag editing interface as Quod Libet,
but it does not play files.

Supported file formats include Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, MOD/XM/IT, Musepack,
Wavpack, and MPEG-4 AAC.

(FYI, Quod Libet uses GStreamer for audio playback so it will actually only support the audio formats that GStreamer supports).

Comment 1 Jeffrey C. Ollie 2006-08-14 20:09:34 UTC
DOH! Forgot to set a proper summary.

Comment 2 Manuel Arostegui Ramirez 2006-08-15 07:03:33 UTC
It works fine on FC5 ;-)

Comment 3 Jason Tibbitts 2006-08-16 01:25:12 UTC
Builds fine; here's the rpmlint complaint list:

W: quodlibet mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs
  I'm seeing this quite a bit lately.  Just do "less -U *spec" and you can see
the inconsistencies in indentation.

W: quodlibet incoherent-version-in-changelog 0.22-1 0.23-1.fc6
  Looks like a typo in your changelog entry.

  I think these are valid.  These errors are often false positives, when the
python code is actually runnable.  But these seem to contain only class
definitions, and as such they shouldn't have the shebang line.

At least that's my interpretation of things.  A while back there was a good IRC
discussion about this; I'll try to dig up the log if you'd like to read it.

Comment 7 Jason Tibbitts 2006-08-17 06:01:54 UTC
You missed one tab, in Source58.

You should package COPYING, HACKING, NEWS and README as %doc.

Also, what's the upstream for google.py?  From the looks of things, it's you,
which would be OK.

It seems to me that there must be a simpler way to copy 50 sources into place.

The README file says there are unit tests included, but I don't see them in the
package.

I built this for i386 and installed it on my home machine; it seems to run OK
but I saw this odd bit on startup:

Introspect error: The name org.gajim.dbus was not provided by any .service files

I found errors with four plugins:

ImportError: No module named musicbrainz
ImportError: No module named CDDB
ImportError: No module named lastfm
ImportError: No module named path

I guess the first three are optional requirements, which should be OK.  The last
one is odd; here's the full backtrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/quodlibet/plugins/songsmenu/shell.2.py", line 11, in ?
    import os
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/os.py", line 133, in ?
    from os.path import (curdir, pardir, sep, pathsep, defpath, extsep, altsep,
ImportError: No module named path

In addition, I chose View->File System and got this backtrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/quodlibet/qltk/quodlibet.py", line 518, in select_browser
    self.browser = Browser(library, player)
  File "/usr/share/quodlibet/browsers/filesystem.py", line 67, in __init__
    dt = DirectoryTree(initial=const.HOME, folders=folders)
  File "/usr/share/quodlibet/qltk/filesel.py", line 68, in __init__
    folders = filter(is_folder, folders)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'is_folder' referenced before assignment

I exited the program which left the default view that way and now neither
quodlibet nor exfalso will start.

These are probably issues for upstream, but I just wanted to make sure that
something wasn't missing from the package.

For some reason I don't get any desktop menu entry, even though the desktop file
looks OK to me.  (I use KDE.)

- Instead of manually copying all of the plugins, pack them into a
  tarball and include a script for generating the tarball

Comment 9 Jason Tibbitts 2006-08-18 02:09:21 UTC
That is significantly shorter.  I was just hoping that some specfile wizard knew
of a way to loop over those %{S:n} entries.

In any case, it does look like you addressed the %doc issue even though you
didn't mention it.

The spaces-tabs thing is still there; Source1, 2, and 3 are all tab-indented
while none of the other lines are.  Not that this is a huge deal, but I have to
mention it.

What about the problems I had in testing?  It would be nice to know they're
expected, if there are missing dependencies or if something went wrong in the
build.  And do you have any idea where the _sanity.sh unit tests promised by the
HACKING file are?

Comment 10 Jeffrey C. Ollie 2006-08-18 05:36:34 UTC
It looks like the unit tests are only in SVN:

http://svn.sacredchao.net/svn/quodlibet/trunk/quodlibet/_sanity.sh
http://svn.sacredchao.net/svn/quodlibet/trunk/quodlibet/tests/

I chatted with the developer on IRC and he said that the tests use PyGTK which
needs X so that's a non-starter for a rpm build.  He also said that the tests
use a number of other libraries that may or may not be in Fedora.  See:

http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet/changeset/3795

Probably because you don't have gajim installed.  One of the plugins is for

Expected... libmusicbrainz is in Core, but the python-ctypes package needed for
the libmusicbrainz python bindings are in Extras.  There is now a
python-musicbrainz2 package in extras but the API is completely different from
the original bindings.

> ImportError: No module named CDDB
> ImportError: No module named lastfm

Neither of these modules are available in Fedora at the moment.  My reasoning
for including these plugins anyway is that Quod Libet handles errors like this
cleanly, and if the user was to obtain these modules some other way (say by
manually installing from the source) the plugins would work for them.

The developer feels that these tracebacks may indicate some local problem with
the Pythin library.  I was unable to duplicate the problem on by screen

You should be able to get the view back to the default by editing
~/.quodlibet/config and changing "browser = FileSystem" to "browser = SearchBar".

OK, that's fine.  It's just that I always want to see available test suites run
if it's possible to do so.

OK, I can accept that some of the included plugins don't run if optional modules
aren't installed.  Since we have no other way to specify optional modules, can
you create a README.fedora file or somesuch with information about which
optional modules can be installed to give more functionality?  Either that or
split out the plugins with extra dependencies into separate packages that have
those dependencies.

So I just need to install python-ctypes?  Or is the issue that the python
bindings aren't built in the core package because a requisite module is not in
core?  Is it possible to get this plugin working at all with the current state
of the libmusicbrainz packages?  If not, there's probably not much point in
shipping the plugin.

I can buy that; hopefully the libraries will make it in at some point.

I have a plain extremely stock FC5 system.  It would be nice to get another
tester to see if anyone else can duplicate this.  I'll try it on a freshly
installed machine at work, but the remote display will be sloooow.

It would be nice to document which plugins are expected to work, which aren't,
and which need additional modules not available from Extras, but I'm not going
to hold this up for something like that.  If the problem I found in testing is
common and persists with the new version, I'm sure you'll receive plenty of bug
reports.

All of the blocker issues I found have been addressed.  The updated package
builds cleanly and rpmlint is silent.

APPROVED

Hi,

Almost a month since the packaging was approved, is there any reason this
package has not been imported into FE tree yet?

Comment 15 Jason Tibbitts 2006-09-27 03:21:00 UTC
The packager has indicated on extras-list that he is currently quite busy.

Comment 16 Jeffrey C. Ollie 2006-09-27 05:46:27 UTC
Things are *starting* to slow up...  I'll try and get a few moments in the next
day or so to import the package.

Sorry, I missed that.
