The script provided by media-sound/rip-1.07 hardcodes the FreeDB CD database which has been offline since March 31st 2020: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/20/03/02/2245216/freedborg-is-shutting-down This script is thus currently unable to automatically retrieve naming data for CDs. However, there is a new compatible replacement service which is GnuDB: https://www.gnudb.org/ This ebuild should be patched and bumped to switch to using this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try using rip with -c option. 2. Watch as it fails to find any server 3.
I have already made a patch and ebuild for this to fix this. I will attach them to this bug....
Created attachment 679509 [details, diff] Patch for rip script to change to GnuDB
Created attachment 679512 [details] Ebuild to use the GnuDB patch
To be clear, I have already built this in a local portage overlay with no issues and have used it to retrieve CD data with no issues.
