We recently found out that libid3tag is now packaged in Debian testing! Hooray! 🎉

We consider this a major advancement since quite a few distros are based on Debian. This will help with development as more and more programs will end up using our fork, so we can work with them and improve the library like never before! 😄

Oh so THAT'S why Debian testing is such a mess right now...

Upgrade done. Let's see what's broken. Glad to see: pipewire and friends aren't broken, though they were among the things upgraded. The bird and fox are same. Most of the upgrade looks like libraries. #DebianTesting #GNU #Linux #ComputerPlay Now, it's Supper Time. Let's find out what the Food Fairy brought me #today It's sitting on my counter top, awaiting consumption.

Ganzen Tag in VMs rumgespielt: #Ubuntu2004, #Ubuntu2204, #PopOs2204, #Fedora36, #Fedora38 und #debiantesting in einem Multi-Boot Setup von #Grub auf #SystemdBoot umgestellt. 🥵

Verschiedene Problemchen dabei angetroffen, bis es am Ende funktioniert hat 🫡

Am Ende voll confident mein Prod-System (F38) umgestellt.
Bootet 🥳
- Alles Grub zeugs entfernt
- #EFI-Booteinträge aufgeräumt (efibootmgr)

*zack*, bootet nicht mehr 😑

Auf den letzten Metern doch noch nen LiveSystem gebraucht 🫠

@WinstonSmith: #XMMS2 is still in #Debian, just currently not in #DebianTesting, but in #Debian11 aka the current #DebianStable as well as in #DebianUnstable: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xmms2

(Or doesn't XMMS2 have that #WinAmp UI anymore? Can't remember as I no more use #GUI music players anymore for quite some years. I just use an #xterm and the #CLI #mediaplayer #mpv. Also works for many video streaming portals.)
