I would like to remind everybody that the freedb.org compact disc track database has shut down. Any program funcionality that tries to fetch from or submit data to it is broken now. This will mostly concern CD rippers and media players. A mostly drop-in compatible alternative is available at gnudb.org. https://www.gnudb.org/ I expect a number of FreeBSD ports to be affected by this. If you are the maintainer of a port that has CDDB functionality, please fix it by switching the default server over to gnudb.org. (On OpenBSD I extracted all ports and grepped over the sources, which revealed some 35 affected ports. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=159346807907595&w=2 I don't have the resources to do this on FreeBSD.) -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
