Package: libid3-3.8.3c2a
Version: 3.8.3-14
Severity: minor
When using id3v2 utility, I found that when stripping id3v1 tags, file GID
changes to current GID. When stripping only id3v2 tags, the behaviour is
normal. I look at the documentation and source code of id3v2 package and
found calls to libid3 library. Example how to reproduce it:
user@hostname:~$ ls -l 01.mp3
-rw-rw---- 1 user audio 8034304 Jun 18 08:43 01.mp3
# ^^^^^
user@hostname:~$ id3v2 -d 01.mp3
Stripping id3 tag in "01.mp3"...id3v2 stripped.
user@hostname:~$ ls -l 01.mp3
-rw-rw---- 1 user audio 8032660 Jun 18 08:44 01.mp3
# ^^^^^ - All OK
# add some tags...
user@hostname:~$ id3v2 -y 2000 01.mp3
user@hostname:~$ id3v2 -s 01.mp3
Stripping id3 tag in "01.mp3"...id3v1 stripped.
user@hostname:~$ ls -l 01.mp3
-rw-rw---- 1 user user 8034176 Jun 18 08:44 01.mp3
# ^^^^ - ???

Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low

Closes: 630957 1098206
Changes:
id3lib3.8.3 (3.8.3-22) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Add 69-fix-bool-typedef-c23.patch: in the C (non-C++) path of globals.h,
include <stdbool.h> from C99 onwards instead of "typedef int bool". The
legacy typedef is a hard error in C23 (the GCC 15 default), so id3.h
(which pulls in globals.h) could no longer be included from C23 code.
The typedef is kept only as a fallback for pre-C99 compilers. As a side
effect this aligns the C view of bool with the C++ ABI the library is
actually built with, without a SONAME change. Closes: #1098206.
* Add 70-warn-on-unsupported-id3v2-version.patch: print a one-line notice to
stderr when a v2 tag header reports a version newer than ID3v2.3.0 or an
unrecognised version (e.g. ID3v2.4), instead of discarding the tag
silently. This adds no ID3v2.4 parsing and does not change parsing
behaviour. Re: #449186 (not closed; full ID3v2.4 support is out of scope).
* Add 71-preserve-file-owner-on-rewrite.patch: when RenderV2ToFile() rewrites
a file via a temporary file and rename(2) (needed when an ID3v2 tag is
prepended or grown), restore the original owner and group with a
best-effort chown(2) in addition to the existing chmod(2). This stops the
file's group from changing silently. Closes: #630957.
