I find this very useful for splitting cuesheets to individual files.
E.g., converting a single ape/cue to individual flacs:
shntool split -f foo.cue -o flac foo.ape
It might be better to add RUN_DEPENDS for audio/flac, audio/mac, etc,
since the error message for uninstalled modules is rather unhelpful.
ok?
There is actually a helpful error message too, but it's on a file
descriptor which ended up being redirected so we don't get to see it,
maybe report this upstream? (See ktrace snippets below).
I would rather not add a bunch of RUN_DEPENDS, especially as some
of the possibilities aren't in the tree at all, and others are of quite
limited use, rather I would specifically mention in DESCR the names of
the packages you can install to support additional formats. I'm OK with
importing it with that change.
Similar to Antoine's reasoning, I would prefer a README instead. ok?

Format Modules
==
shntool supports .wav files by default, but can also work with any format
containing audio waveforms, including losslessly-compressed formats. To
support these extra formats, install the following packages:
- sox (.aiff)
- shorten (.shn)
- flac (.flac)
- mac (.ape)
- wavepack (.wv)
- bonk (.bonk)

Hi, shntool is a multi-purpose WAVE data processing and reporting utility. File formats are abstracted from its core, so it can process any file that contains WAVE data, compressed or not - provided there exists a format module to handle that particular file type. shntool has native support for .wav files, and can work with other lossless audio formats, provided the appropriate helper program is installed. I find this very useful for splitting cuesheets to individual files. E.g., converting a single ape/cue to individual flacs: shntool split -f foo.cue -o flac foo.ape It might be better to add RUN_DEPENDS for audio/flac, audio/mac, etc, since the error message for uninstalled modules is rather unhelpful. ok? -- Anthony J.

* Jacob Meuser jake...@sdf.lonestar.org [28.10.2010 23:49]: call me crazy, but I expect a utility named shntool to work with .shn (shorten) files. The manpage says it's a historic holdover: shntool is a misnomer, since it processes WAVE data, not shorten data. The name is a holdover from its early days as 'shnlen', a program cre- ated specifically to extract information about WAVE data stored within .shn files. Aliases for shntool are prefixed with 'shn' instead of 'wav' to avoid possible collisions with existing programs. I added a RUN_DEPENDS to the updated port to meet this expectation. shntool2.tar.gz Description: application/tar-gz

Ah, I could have used this a week ago, now all I have to do is work out how to get the embedded cuesheets out of my old .ape files :-) I would make this small change to DESCR so people can see more clearly what they need to do if they wish to use various formats, but otherwise this looks fine to me.

Hi, a question first: this port has builtin support for .wav files, while other audio formats need a pre/postprocessor (e.g. audio/mac for .ape). I omitted the dependencies to shorten/flac/mac/wavpack/bonk... as shntool is working without it and a warning is printed if the appropriate helper is missing. Is this ok or should I add all supported audio compressors as dependencies? Works for me on i386, please test and commit. $ pkg_info shntool Information for inst:shntool-3.0.10 Comment: wave audio file processing and reporting utility Description: shntool is a multi-purpose WAVE data processing and reporting utility.
