Hello Arch,
Does anyone know why all the executables in "mutagen" suddenly developed a numeral "2" at the end of their names?
I would have preferred the names to stay the same for the sake of backwards compatibility. I checked with "asp checkout python2-mutagen", as I learned to do recently, and I saw that the renaming seems to be due to the following lines in the PKGBUILD
for script in {mid3{cp,iconv,v2},moggsplit,mutagen-{inspect,pony}}; do sed -e "s/${script}/${script}2/g" -i setup.py sed -e 's/python/&2/' -i "tools/${script}" mv -v "tools/${script}"{,2} mv -v "man/${script}"{,2}.1 done
but there is no comment in the PKGBUILD, and I could not find any note in the Git log explaining the addition of those lines...
Thanks,
Frederick
From a quick look, it appears to be so that python-mutagen can coexist with python2-mutagen. Plain 'mutagen' would be the python 3 version, while 'mutagen2' would be the same program but run with python2.
If you want a plain 'mutagen' command, then simply install python-mutagen
